The coefficient of linear expansion of aluminum is 24 × 10^-6 K^-1 and the coefficient of volume expansion of olive oil is 0.68 × 10^-3 K^-1.A novice cook,in preparation of some pesto,fills a 1.00-L aluminum pot to the brim and heats the oil and the pot from an initial temperature of 15°C to 190°C.To his consternation some olive oil spills over the top.How much? A)0.11 L B)0.12 L C)0.13 L D)0.14 L E)0.15 L

The volume of the oil increases by:$$V_f-V_i=V_i\beta(T_f-T_i)=(1.00	ext{ L})(0.68	imes10^{-3}	ext{ K}^{-1})(190\degree	ext{C}-15\degree	ext{C})=0.12	ext{ L}$$

The Coefficient of Linear Expansion of Aluminum Is 24 ×
