5. The thermal expansion of liquid depends on the expansion of the container that it fills.
However, why does liquid overflow after heating?
A) because container does not expand
B) because coefficient of volume expansion for liquid is bigger than the container
C) because liquid and container expand at the same amount
D) because particles in solid container is more closely packed together than particles in liquid
