Question:

A container can be made from steel [( = 36 × 10-6 (Co)-1] or lead [β = 87 × 10-6 (Co)-1]. A liquid is poured into the container, filling it to the brim. The liquid is either water [β = 207 × 10-6 (Co)-1] or ethyl alcohol [β = 1120 × 10-6 (Co)-1]. When the full container is heated, some liquid spills out. To keep the overflow to a minimum, from what material should the container be made and what should the liquid be?
(a) Lead, water
(b) Steel, water
(c) Lead, ethyl alcohol
