Question Number 27769 by tawa tawa last updated on 14/Jan/18
A glass bottle full of mercury has mass 500g. On being heated through 35°C,  2.43g of mercury are expelled. calculate the mass of mercury remaining in  the bottle  (Cubic expansivity of mercury is 1.8 × 10^(−4)  per K.  linear expansivity of glass is 8.0 × 10^(−6)  per K.

V=volume of mercury in glass before heating  ΔV=change of volume of mercury due to heating  ΔV/V=(1.8×10^(−4) −3×8.0×10^(−6) )×35=0.00546  (V/(ΔV))=(1/(0.00546))=183.15  Mass of mercury in glass before heating  M=183.15×2.43=445.05 g  Mass of mercury remaining in glass after heating  M′=445.05−2.43 =442.62 g
