Chapter 18, Problem 15P

A volumetric flask made of Pyrex is calibrated at 20.0°C. It is filled to the 100-mL mark with 35.0°C acetone. After the flask is filled, the acetone cools and the flask warms so that the combination of acetone and flask reaches a uniform temperature of 32.0°C. The combination is then cooled back to 20.0°C. (a) What is the volume of the acetone when it cools to 20.0°C? (b) At the temperature of 32.0°C, does the level of acetone lie above or below the 100-mL mark on the flask? Explain.

A flask made of Pyrex is calibrated at 20.0°C. It is filled to the 100-mL mark on the flask with 35.0°C acetone. (a) What is the volume of the acetone when both it and the flask cool to 20.0°C? (b) Would the temporary increase in the Pyrex flask’s volume make an appreciable difference in the answer? Why or why not?
A volumetric flask made of Pyrex is calibrated at 20.0°C. It is filled to the 175-mL mark with 34.5°C glycerin. After the flask is filled, the glycerin cools and the flask warms so that the combination of glycerin and flask reaches a uniform temperature of 32.0°C. The combination is then cooled back to 20.0°C. (The average volume expansion coefficient of glycerin is 4.85 10-4(°C)−1.) (a) What is the volume of the glycerin when it cools to 20.0°C?
If I have 2.9 L of gas at a pressure of 5.0 atm and a temperature of 50.°C, what will be the temperature of the gas if I decrease the volume of the gas to 2.4 L and decrease the pressure to 25 psi?
