Answer 1

Answer:

• 0.0002012
• 0.0002192

Explanation:

Using apparent = mass of liquid expelled/mass of liquid remaining × temp. rise

Mass expelled: 250-248.5=1.5g

Mass remaining =248.5g

Temp. rise= 60-30= 30ºc

= 1.5/248.5×30=0.0002012

Using real= apparent + cubic expansivty

Cubic= 3 × linear expansivty

= 3×0.000006=0.000018

0.0002012+0.000018=0.0002192
