Question

Early in the morning, when the temperature is 5.0°C,gasoline is pumped into a car's 41 L steelgas tank until it is filled to the top. Later in the day thetemperature rises to 25°C. Since thevolume of gasoline increases more for a given temperature increasethan the volume of the steel tank, gasoline will spill out of thetank. How much gasoline spills out in this case? ________?L Early in the morning, when the temperature is 5.0°C,gasoline is pumped into a car's 41 L steelgas tank until it is filled to the top.

How much gasoline spills out in this case? ________?L

Explanation / Answer

amount spilled = expansion of gasoline -expansion of tank = .                =   V T - V 3T   =   V T ( -3) = .              = 41 * 20 * (9.6 x 10-4 - 3 * 0.11 x10-4 ) =     0.760L
