A glass flask is filled up to a mark with 50 cc of mercury at 18ºC. If the flask and contents are heated to 38ºC, how much mercury will be above the mark? (α for glass is 9 × 10 –6 /ºC and coefficient of real expansion of mercury is 180 × 10 –6 /ºC)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Due to volume expansion of both mercury and flask, the change in volume of mercury relative
to flask is given by
