10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
hard
A glass flask is filled up to a mark with $50\, cc$ of mercury at $18°C.$ If the flask and contents are heated to $38°C.$ ......... $cc$ mercury will be above the mark $?$ $(\alpha$ for glass is $ 9 × 10^{-6}{°}C^{-1}$ and coefficient of real expansion of mercury is $180 × 10^{-6}{°}C^{-1})$
A
$0.85$
B
$0.46$
C
$0.15$
D
$0.05$
Solution
(c) Due to volume expansion of both mercury and flask, the change in volume of mercury relative to flask is given by
$\Delta V = {V_0}[{\gamma _L} – {\gamma _g}]\Delta \theta = V[{\gamma _m} – 3{\alpha _g}]\Delta \theta $
$ = 50\,[180 \times {10^{ – 6}} – 3 \times 9 \times {10^{ – 6}}]\,(38 – 18) = 0.153\,cc$
