A glass flask whose volume is 1000.0 cm3 at 0.0°C is completely filled with mercury at
this temperature. When flask and mercury are warmed to 55.0°C, 8.95 cm3 of
mercury overflow. If the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 18.0 x 105 K-1,
compute the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass.
An aluminum can is filled to the brim with a liquid. The can and the liquid are heated so their temperatures change by the same amount.
The can's initial volume at 8 °C is 3.5 x 104 m³. The coefficient of volume expansion for aluminum is 69 × 106 (C)-¹. When the can and
the liquid are heated to 77 °C, 8.2 x 106 m³ of liquid spills over. What is the coefficient of volume expansion of the liquid?
