The coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $9.0 \times 10^{-6}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1} .$ If a specific gravity bottle holds $50.000 \mathrm{~mL}$ at $15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, find its capacity at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.

Step 1
This increase in volume is given by the formula: ΔV = V₀ * α * ΔT where: ΔV is the change in volume, V₀ is the initial volume, α is the coefficient of linear expansion, ΔT is the change in temperature. Show more…

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 over- flow. Compute the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass. (Consult Table $14.2 . )$
