A flask of volume

{10^3}

cc is completely filled with mercury at 0

^ \circ C

. The coefficient of cubical expansion of mercury is 180

\times {10^{ - 6}}^ \circ {C^{ - 1}}

and that of glass is

40 \times {10^{ - 6}}^ \circ {C^{ - 1}}

.
If the flask in now placed in boiling water at 100

^ \circ C

, how much mercury will overflow?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

14 cc

Option B (14 cc) is correct because it represents the difference in expansion between mercury and glass when heated.
