    Undergrad Thermal coefficient of expansion in gases

    I think - a perfect gas is a gas in which there are no chemical reactions between the molecules. I'm not sure, I'm just starting to learn about gases and expansion etc.

    Undergrad Thermal coefficient of expansion in gases

    I haven't learned about derivatives yet.

    Undergrad Thermal coefficient of expansion in gases

    Yes, sorry, I meant 273. My phycs teacher told me this, but I hadn't quite understood. Thanks a lot.

    Undergrad Thermal coefficient of expansion in gases

    I know that the variation in a gas' volume is equal to ΔV = γ⋅V[initial]⋅ΔΘ with ΔΘ the variation in temperature and γ=1/237 the thermal coefficient of expansion in gases. Could someone please explain to me why γ=1/237 please ? Thanks a lot, V
