Question
A brass container has a volume of 2.800 L and is filled with 2.790 L of water at
a common temperature of 15.0 °C. The container and water are heated
uniformly to 95.0 °C. Ignore heat loss and evaporation to the surrounding.
Given that:
Coefficient of volume expansion of brass, Bbrass = 57.0 × 10-6 °C-1
Coefficient of volume expansion of water, Bwater= 207 × 106 °C-1
(i)
Calculate the change in the volume (in L) of the water and brass
container respectively.
(ii)
Determine whether the water will overflow from the container. Support
your answer with mathematical steps.
