A glass flask whose volume is 1000 cm3 at a temperature of 0.100 ∘C is completely filled with mercury at the same temperature. When the flask and mercury are warmed together to a temperature of 52.0 ∘C , a volume of 8.50 cm3 of mercury overflows the flask.

If the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is βHg = 1.80×10−4 /K , compute βglass, the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Initial volume of the glass flask = Initial volume of mercury = V = 1000 cm3

Initial temperature of the flask and the mercury = T1 = 0.1 oC

Final temperature of the flask and mercury = T2 = 52 oC

Coefficient of volume expansion of mercury = Hg = 1.8 x 10-4 K-1

Coefficient of volume expansion of glass = glass

Change in volume of mercury = V1

V1 = VHg(T2 - T1)

V1 = (1000)(1.8x10-4)(52 - 0.1)

V1 = 9.342 cm3

Volume of mercury that overflows the flask = V1 = 8.5 cm3

Change in volume of the glass flask = V2

V2 = V1 - V1

V2 = 9.342 - 8.5

V2 = 0.842 cm3

V2 = Vglass(T2 - T1)

0.842 = (1000)(glass)(52 - 0.1)

glass = 1.622 x 10-5 K-1

Coefficient of volume expansion of glass = 1.622 x 10-5 K-1

  1. Finding the volume of a flask. A student obtained a clean dry glass-stoppered flask. She weighed the flask and stopper on an analytical balance and found the total mass to be 31.601 g. She then filled the flask with water and obtained a mass for the full stoppered flask of 60.735 g. From these data, and the fact that at the temperature of the used water its density is 0.9973 g/cm3, find the volume of the stoppered flask....

Wine bottles are never completely filled: a small volume of air is left in the glass bottle's cylindrically shaped neck (inner diameter dd = 18.5 mmmm) to allow for wine's fairly large coefficient of thermal expansion. The distance H between the surface of the liquid contents and the bottom of the cork is called the "headspace height"(Figure 1), and is typically H = 1.5 cmcm for a 750-mLmL bottle filled at 20 ∘C∘C. Due to its alcoholic content, wine's coefficient...
