A glass container has an original volume of 500 cm^3 at 25°C. If the coefficient of volume expansion for glass is 9 × 10^-6 /°C and it is heated to 75°C, what will be its new volume?

ΔV = β x V x ΔT = (9 × 10^-6 /°C) x (500 cm3) x (75°C - 25°C) = 0.15 cm3

New volume = Original volume + ΔV = 500 cm3 + 0.15 cm3 = 500.15 cm3
