A glass vessel is filled with exactly 1 liter of turpentine at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. What volume of the liquid will overflow if the temperature is raised to $86^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ? The coefficient of linear expansion of the glass is $9.0 \times 10^{-6}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}$; the coefficient of volume expansion of turpentine is $97 \times 10^{-5}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}$.

Key Concepts

Thermal Expansion

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change its dimensions in response to a change in temperature. This general concept applies both to solids and liquids and is essential when analyzing how temperature variations affect the size of objects and their contained substances.

Coefficient of Linear Expansion

The coefficient of linear expansion is a material-specific parameter that quantifies how much a solid material expands per unit length for each degree of temperature change. It is crucial for determining the change in the dimensions of the container, affecting its capacity when subjected to temperature variations.

Coefficient of Volume Expansion

The coefficient of volume expansion measures the relative change in a substance's volume per degree of temperature change. For liquids, which typically expand more significantly than solids when heated, this coefficient is essential for calculating how the volume of the liquid increases with temperature.

Differential Expansion

Differential expansion refers to the scenario where the container and its contents expand by different amounts due to their distinct expansion coefficients. This concept is key for determining overflow because it requires comparing the expansion of the liquid (volume expansion) with the expansion of the container (related to its linear expansion in three dimensions).
