A student completely filled a quartz Erlenmeyer flask of volume 250 ml with glycerin liquid. The flask and the glycerin are in thermal equilibrium at 25 °C. The flask was placed in a refrigerator at 10 °C. At 10 °C, how much more glycerin can the student pour into the flask?
A scientist uses a thermometer containing isopropyl alcohol with a volumetric thermal expansion coefficient (β) of 7.9 x 10-4 K-1 to monitor a temperature-sensitive experiment. The thermometer has a 0.50 mm diameter capillary tube and an 8 mm diameter spherical bulb. At 0°C, the alcohol column is 40 mm above the bulb. Determine the temperature when the column reaches 145 mm, considering the glass expansion is negligible compared to the alcohol.
What is the temperature in a mercury-in-glass thermometer if the mercury column has a length of 12.5 cm, given that the column length is 10.0 cm at 0.0°C and 20.0 cm at 100.0°C?
You have a metallic rectangular plate with a length of l and a width of w at a specific temperature. Study the change in the area of this plate under a change in temperature ΔT while neglecting the effect of all minimal quantities. The coefficient of linear expansion is α.
