You pour 998.00 cm3 of liquid mercury into a 1000.00 cm3-flask when both the mercury and the glass are at 4.0 ◦C. Determine the maximum temperature you can heat the system to (to the thousandth of a degree Celsius) before the mercury overflows. The mercury has a coefficient of volume expansion of 18.0 × 10−5◦C^−1 and the glass of the flask has a coefficient of volume expansion of 1.8 × 10−5◦C^ −1.
