A glass flask whose volume is 1000.0 cm3 at 0.0°C is completely filled with mercury at this temperature. When flask and mercury are warmed to 55.0°C, 8.95 cm3 of mercury overflow. If the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 18.0 x 10-5 K1, compute the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass.
