$A$ glass flask of volume $1 \, L$ is completely filled with mercury at $0 \, ^\circ C$. The temperature of the glass flask and mercury is raised to $100 \, ^\circ C$. If the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is $1.82 \times 10^{-4} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$ and the coefficient of linear expansion of glass is $0.1 \times 10^{-4} \, ^\circ C^{-1}$,how much mercury will overflow from the flask?

Obtain the coefficient of volume expansion for an ideal gas.

Give the value of the coefficient of volume expansion at room temperature for an ideal gas.

$A$ bakelite beaker has a volume capacity of $500\, cc$ at $30^{\circ} C$. When it is partially filled with $V_{m}$ volume (at $30^{\circ} C$) of mercury,it is found that the unfilled volume of the beaker remains constant as the temperature is varied. If $\gamma_{\text{beaker}} = 6 \times 10^{-6}{ }^{\circ} C^{-1}$ and $\gamma_{\text{mercury}} = 1.5 \times 10^{-4}{ }^{\circ} C^{-1}$,where $\gamma$ is the coefficient of volume expansion,then $V_{m}$ (in $cc$) is close to
