500\,\text{cm}^3

brass vessel is completely filled with kerosene at

20^{\circ}\text{C}

. The vessel and the kerosene are heated together to

70^{\circ}\text{C}

. Given

\gamma_{r}(\text{kerosene})=7.2\times10^{-4}\,\text{K}^{-1}

and

\gamma(\text{brass})=5.4\times10^{-5}\,\text{K}^{-1}

, find the volume of kerosene that overflows. a)
