Question

A Pyrex glass container fills the upper edge with 300 cm³ of mercury at 30ºC. How much mercury is spilled if the temperature is increased to 70ºC, given that the coefficient of expansion of mercury is 18x10^-5 / ºC and the coefficient of expansion of Pyrex glass is 3.3x10^-5 / ºC?

Step 1

Step 1: Calculate the change in volume of mercury due to the change in temperature: Given coefficient of expansion of mercury, \( \beta_{\text{mercury}} = 18 \times 10^{-5} / ^\circ C \) Initial volume of mercury, \( V_{\text{initial}} = 300 \, \text{cm}^3 Show more…
