A glass flask of volume one liter at 0°C is filled, level full of mercury at this temperature. The flask and mercury are now heated to 100°C. How much mercury will spill out, if coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 
and linear expansion of glass is 
respectively
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Due to volume expansion of both liquid and vessel, the change in volume of liquid relative to
container is given by Δ Δ V = 
Given V 0 = 1000 cc, α α g = 0.1×10 –4 /°C
∴ ∴ Δ Δ V = 1000 [1.82 × 10 –4 – 0.3 × 10 –4 ] × 100 =15.2 cc
