Question

A hollow aluminum cylinder 20.5 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2.000 L at 18.0°C. It is completely filled with turpentine at 18.0°C. The turpentine and the aluminum cylinder are then slowly warmed together to 80.0°C. (The average linear expansion coefficient for aluminum is 24 ✕ 10−6°C−1, and the average volume expansion coefficient for turpentine is 9.0 ✕ 10−4°C−1.) (a) How much turpentine overflows? cm3 (b) What is the volume of turpentine remaining in the cylinder at 80.0°C? (Give your answer to at least four significant figures.) L (c) If the combination with this amount of turpentine is then cooled back to 18.0°C, how far below the cylinder's rim does the turpentine's surface recede? cm
