A glass container of volume 210 cm³ is filled with mercury at a temperature of 23°C. Find the amount of mercury which spills when the temperature of the container is raised to 35°C.
Added by Melanie A.
Step 1
Given: Volume of glass container = 210 cm³ Volume expansion coefficient of mercury (γ) = 1.8 x 10^-4 °C^-1 Volume expansion coefficient of glass (γ) = 0.12 x 10^-4 °C^-1 Initial temperature = 23°C Using the formula: V_final = V_initial * (1 + γ * ΔT) where Show more…

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?

A glass flask whose volume is $1000.00 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ at $0.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is completely filled with mercury at this temperature. When flask and mercury are warmed to $55.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 8.95 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ of mercury overflow. Compute the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass. (Consult Tables $14.2 .)$
