Problem
A sealed glass bottle has an internal volume of 1.50L at 15∘C. It is completely filled with an oil whose density is 780kg m−3 at this temperature. The coefficient of cubical expansion of glass is 9.0×10−6K−1 and that of the oil is 6.5×10−4K−1. The bottle is heated to 65∘C, and no oil is allowed to leak out.
(a) Calculate the new internal volume of the bottle at 65∘C.
(b) Assuming the mass of oil remains constant, determine its density at 65∘C.
(c) Compute the percentage change in density of the oil due to the heating.
