Problem

A sealed glass bottle has an internal volume of 1.50 L1.50\,\text{L} at 15 ∘ ⁣C15\,^{\circ}\!\text{C}. It is completely filled with an oil whose density is 780 kg m−3780\,\text{kg m}^{-3} at this temperature. The coefficient of cubical expansion of glass is 9.0×10−6 K−19.0\times10^{-6}\,\text{K}^{-1} and that of the oil is 6.5×10−4 K−16.5\times10^{-4}\,\text{K}^{-1}. The bottle is heated to 65 ∘ ⁣C65\,^{\circ}\!\text{C}, and no oil is allowed to leak out. (a) Calculate the new internal volume of the bottle at 65 ∘ ⁣C65\,^{\circ}\!\text{C}. (b) Assuming the mass of oil remains constant, determine its density at 65 ∘ ⁣C65\,^{\circ}\!\text{C}. (c) Compute the percentage change in density of the oil due to the heating.
