Question

A glass bottle full at mercury at 0°C has a mass of 500g On being heated through 350°C, 2.43g of mercury is expelled Calculate the mass of mercury remaining in the bottle. Take cubic expansivity of mercury to be 1.8X10-4/K and the linear expansivity of glass to be 8.0x10.6/k

Answer 1

500 - 2.43 = 497.57
