The Coefficient of Volume Expansion of a Certain Olive Oil $0.68 \times 10 ^ { - 3 } \mathrm {~K}^{ - 1}$

question 26

Multiple Choice

The coefficient of volume expansion of a certain olive oil is $0.68 \times 10 ^ { - 3 } \mathrm {~K}^{ - 1}$
A 1.0 -L glass beaker is filled to the brim with olive oil at room temperature. The beaker is placed on a range and the temperature of the oil and beaker increases by $25 \mathrm { C } ^ { \circ }$ As a result, 0.0167 L of olive oil spills over the top of the beaker. Which of the following values is closest to the coefficient of linear expansion of the glass from which the beaker is made?

• A) \(4 \times 10 ^ { - 6 } K ^ { - 1 }\)
• B) \(1 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } K ^ { - 1 }\)
• C) \(1 \times 10 ^ { - 6 } K ^{- 1}\)
• D) \(2 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } \mathrm {~K} ^ { - 1 }\)
• E) \(3 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } K ^{- 1}\)
