    The volume of the mercury sample at 273 K is 49.818 mL

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Data given

    Volume at 293 K = 50.00 mL

    The coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 182.0 * 10^-6/K

    Step 2: Calculate the new volume

    ΔV = β*Vi*ΔT

    ⇒ with ΔV = the change in volume

    ⇒ with β = The coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 182.0 * 10^-6/K

    ⇒ with Vi = the initial volume = 50.00 mL

    ⇒ with ΔT = the change in temperature = 20 K

    ΔV = 182.0 * 10^-6/K * 50 * 20

    ΔV = 0.182 L

    This means the volume change is - 0.182 L

    ΔV = V2 - V1

    V2 = ΔV - V1

    V2 = 50.00 mL - 0.182 = 49.818 mL

    The volume of the mercury sample at 273 K is 49.818 mL
