Thermal Expansion: the Coefficient of Volume Expansion of Olive Oil

Multiple Choice

Thermal expansion: The coefficient of volume expansion of olive oil is 0.68 × 10^-3 K^-1. A 1.00-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 °C. As a result, 0.0167 L of olive oil spill over the top of the beaker. What is the coefficient of linear expansion of the glass?

A) 1.0 × 10^-6 K^-1
B) 4.0 × 10^-6 K^-1
C) 1.0 × 10^-5 K^-1
D) 2.0 × 10^-5 K^-1
E) 3.0 × 10^-5 K^-1
