Question

A) Question: Assuming all have the same initial volume, compare the following substances by the amount of volume expansion due to an increase in temperature: glass, mercury, aluminum, ethyl alcohol. (See the table below. Select all that apply.)

B) A 3.00-liter aluminum cylinder at 5.00°C is filled to the brim with gasoline at the same temperature. If the aluminum and gasoline are warmed to 58.0°C, how much gasoline spills out? [Hint: Be sure to account for the expansion of the container. Also, ignore the possibility of evaporation, and assume the volume coefficients are good to three digits.
Answer in cm3

Explanation / Answer

A) For small expansion the coefficient of volume expansion is 3 times that of linear expansion.

Mercury will have the largest expansion and glass will have the smallest expansion.

B) Thermal expansion is given as

For gasoline,

For aluminum,

Expanded volumes will be,

The volume of gasoline spilling out will be,
