When the temperature of the water (and consequently the inner surface of the flask) is raised to 100° C, determine the volume of the water that overflows? HINT 1: Don't forget to calculate the initial volume of the water and flask HINT 2: The volume expansion coefficient for ordinary glass and water can be found in the table of Week 4 (Slide #20). HINT 3: Calculate the volume expansions for both water and the flask HINT 4: The difference between the final volume of water and the final volume of the flask is the amount of overflow.

- Suppose you start your day in Denver, on a cool 10°C spring day. The local atmospheric pressure is 85 kPa. You fill your car’s tires until the gauge shows 210 kPa (about 30 psi). You then drive up to Fairplay, Colorado, where the atmospheric pressure is lower—70 kPa—and the temperature drops to 0°C.When you finish lunch, you check your tire pressure.

The water in the jug has a temperature of 15 degrees celsius. All of the water boils away and the iron chunk cools down 120 degrees celsius. If, in total, he poured 0.90 kg of water over the iron, what is the mass of this chunk of iron?arrow_forward

By making the air inside the balloon less dense then the surrounding air, the balloon is able to lift objects many times its own weight. A large hot air balloon has a maximum balloon volume of 2090 m3. a. If the air temperature in the balloon is 54 °C, how much additional mass, in kilograms, can the balloon lift? Assume the molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol, the air density is 1.20 kg/m3, and the air pressure is 1 atm.arrow_forward1. Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 17 -L capacity when at 10 °C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95 °C operating temperature, given that the fluid's volume coefficient of expansion is ß= 400 ×10-6/°C? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95 °C. The volume coefficient of expansion of copper is 5.1 x 10-5/°C. Hint: Consider the expansions of both the fluid and the radiator. AV: Larrow_forward
