You are using a cooking pot to boil water for a pasta

Chapter , Problem 17

(choose chapter or problem)

You are using a cooking pot to boil water for a pasta dish. The recipe calls for at least 4.0 L of water to be used. You fill the pot with 4.0 L of room temperature water and note that this amount of water filled the pot to the brim. Knowing some physics, you are counting on the volume expansion of the steel pot to keep all of the water in the pot while the water is heated to a boil. Is your assumption correct? Explain. If your assumption is not correct, how much water runs over the sides of the pot due to the thermal expansion of the water?
