Question

Problem 12

Answer 1

Given information

We are given that, The principal virtue of Pyrex glass is that its coefficient of linear expansion is much smaller than that for ordinary glass.

and the table,

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

According to the table,

we can say that, when Pyrex glass is heated or cooled, it will expand or contract much less than ordinary glass due to its small coefficient of linear expansion. The smaller changes in dimensions result in lower internal stresses than would be present in the ordinary glass.
