Watch as we explore the fascinating world of thermal expansion in this video. We start with a glass filled to the brim with 350.0 mL of water at a scorching 100.0°C, and then witness the magic unfold as the temperature decreases to a cool 20.0°C. But the real question is, how much more water can we add to the glass? Join us to find out!
