A student cramming for their final exam heats up 0.500 L of cold coffee in a Pyrex carafe. The carafe is filled to the brim with the coffee and both are initially at 20.0 celcius. Once the temperature of both the coffee and the carafe have risen to 95.0 degrees celcius, how much coffee has spilled out? Given that the carafe is an isotropic solid, and that the coefficient of linear thermal expansion for Pyrex is: 0.0000033 1/K and that the coefficient of volume thermal expansion for water (coffee) is 0.000207 1/K
