A glass flask whose volume is 1000 cm3 at a temperature of 1.00 ∘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 8.25 cm3 of mercury overflows the flask. If the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 18.0×10−5K−118.0×10 compute the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass.

The coefficient of volume expansion of the glass

Given here,

Volume of the glass flask = 1000

Initial temperature = 1

Final temperature = 52

Where,

- Change in volume

- initial volume = 1000cm

-  coefficient of volume expansion

- temperature

Put the values in the formula

So,  coefficient of volume expansion for gas,
