Zirconium tungstate is an unusual material because its volume shrinks with an increase in temperature for the temperature range 0.3 K to 1050 K ( where it decomposes ). In fact, the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion is - 26. 4 * 10 -6 / K. Determine the ratio V /V0 for the above mentined temperature range. Express your answer in percent.
