1.5 Density variation with temperature
Density is given as, $$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$$
As we know that the mass of the liquid remains constant with the change in temperature.

Variation of volume with temperature is given by, $$V' = V(1 + \gamma \Delta T)$$where,
$V$: Initial volume of the liquid
$V'$: Final volume of the liquid
$\gamma $: Thermal coefficient of volume expansion
$\Delta T$: Change in temperature

So, $$\begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \frac{{\rho '}}{\rho } = \left( {\frac{m}{{V'}}} \right)\left( {\frac{V}{m}} \right) \\ \frac{{\rho '}}{\rho } = \frac{V}{{V\left( {1 + \gamma \Delta T} \right)}} \\ \rho ' = \frac{\rho }{{\left( {1 + \gamma \Delta T} \right)}} \\\end{aligned} \end{equation} $$
