Initially when 1000.00 mL of water at 1O° C are poured into a glass cylinder, the height of the water column is 1000.0 mm. The water and its container are heated to 8O°C. Assuming no evaporation, what then will be the depth of the water column if the coefficient of thermal expansion for the glass is 3.6 x 10^-6 mm/mm per °C?
Question
Initially when 1000.00 mL of water at 1O° C are poured into a glass cylinder, the height of the water column is 1000.0 mm. The water and its container are heated to 8O°C. Assuming no evaporation, what then will be the depth of the water column if the coefficient of thermal expansion for the glass is 3.6 x 10^-6 mm/mm per °C?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to consider the thermal expansion of both the water and the glass cylinder.
-
First, we calculate the expansion of the glass cylinder. The formula for linear thermal expansion is ΔL = α * L0 * ΔT, where ΔL is the change in length, α is the coefficient of thermal expansion, L0 is the initial length, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
For the glass cylinder, we have: α = 3.6 x 10^-6 mm/mm per °C L0 = 1000.0 mm ΔT = 80°C - 10°C = 70°C
Substituting these values into the formula, we get: ΔL (glass) = 3.6 x 10^-6 mm/mm per °C * 1000.0 mm * 70°C = 0.252 mm
-
Next, we calculate the expansion of the water. The coefficient of volume expansion for water is approximately 0.000214 per °C. The formula for volume expansion is ΔV = β * V0 * ΔT, where ΔV is the change in volume, β is the coefficient of volume expansion, V0 is the initial volume, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
For the water, we have: β = 0.000214 per °C V0 = 1000.0 mL (since 1 mL of water has a height of 1 mm in the cylinder) ΔT = 70°C
Substituting these values into the formula, we get: ΔV (water) = 0.000214 per °C * 1000.0 mL * 70°C = 15.0 mL
-
Finally, we calculate the new height of the water column. The change in height is equal to the change in volume (since 1 mL of water corresponds to a 1 mm increase in height), plus the change in height of the glass cylinder.
ΔH = ΔV (water) + ΔL (glass) = 15.0 mm + 0.252 mm = 15.252 mm
The new height of the water column is therefore 1000.0 mm + 15.252 mm = 1015.252 mm.
So, the depth of the water column after heating to 80°C will be approximately 1015.252 mm.
