An aluminum cup of 100 cm3capacity is completely filled with glycerin at 22oC. How much glycerin, if any, will spill out of the cup if the temperature of both the cup and the glycerin is increased to 28oC? (The coefficient of volume expansion of glycerin is5.1×10-4/Co)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The quantity of glycerin that will spill out from the cup is 0.26 cm3

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Initial volume of aluminum cupVAl,i=100cm3
  2. Initial volume of glycerinVg,i=100cm3
  3. Initial temperatureTi=20oC
  4. Final temperatureTf=28oC
  5. Coefficient of volume expansion for glycerinβg=5.1×10-4/Co
  6. Coefficient of volume expansion for aluminumβAl(or3αAl)=69×10-6/Co

Understanding the concept of thermal expansion

When an object's temperature changes, it expands and grows larger, a process known as thermal expansion. Thermal expansion can occur due to the increase in temperature. For the given problem, we have to find the change in volume expansion of aluminum and glycerin. From that, we can find out how much glycerin will spill out.

Formula:

The volume change in expansion of a body, ∆V=³Õβ∆T …(¾±)

where,βis the volume expansion coefficient of body,∆Tis change in temperature, V and is volume

Calculation of quantity of glycerin

First, the change in temperature is given as:

Δ°Õ=Tf−Ti=28°C−22°C=6°C

The change in volume of the aluminum cup after expansion using equation (i) is given as:

Δ³ÕAl=VAl,iβAlΔ°Õ

The change in volume of the glycerin after expansion using equation (i) is given as:

Δ³Õg=Vg,iβgΔ°Õ

The quantity of glycerin that spills out will be given as:

Δ³Õg−Δ³ÕAl=Vg,iβgΔ°Õ−VAl,iβAlΔ°Õ=(Vg,iβg−VAl,iβAl)Δ°Õ

But, it is given that, Vg,i=VAl,i=100cm3

Therefore, the above equation is given as:

Δ³Õg−Δ³ÕAl=(βg−βAl)VAl,iΔ°Õ=(5.1×10−4/°C−69×10−6/°C)×100 c³¾3×6 °C=4.41×10−4×100×6 c³¾3=0.26cm3

Hence, the quantity of glycerin that will spill out is0.26cm3

If you were to walk briefly in space without a spacesuit while far from the Sun (as an astronaut does in the movie 2001, A Space Odyssey), you would feel the cold of space—while you radiated energy, you would absorb almost none from your environment. (a) At what rate would you lose energy? (b) How much energy would you lose in 30s? Assume that your emissivity is 0.90, and estimate other data needed in the calculations.

Two constant-volume gas thermometers are assembled, one with nitrogen and the other with hydrogen. Both contain enough gas so that.(a) What is the difference between the pressures in the two thermometers if both bulbs are in boiling water? (Hint: See Fig. 18-6) (b) Which gas is at higher pressure?

A certain diet doctor encourages people to diet by drinking ice water. His theory is that the body must burn off enough fat to raise the temperature of the water from 0.00°Cto the body temperature of37.0°C. How many liters of ice water would have to be consumed to burn off(about 1 lb) of fat, assuming that burning this much fat requires3500calbe transferred to the ice water? Why is it not advisable to follow this diet? (Oneliter=103cm3. The density of water is1.00 g/³¦³¾3.)

A tank of water has been outdoors in cold weather, and a slab of ice5.0cmthick has formed on its surface (Figure). The air above the ice is at −10°C . Calculate the rate of ice formation (in centimeters per hour) on the ice slab. Take the thermal conductivity of ice to be 0.0040cal/s.cm0C and its density to be 0.92g/cm3. Assume no energy transfer through the tank walls or bottom.
