Question
An underground gasoline tank can hold 1.06 103 gallons of gasoline at 52.0°F. If the tank is being filled on a day when the outdoor temperature (and the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 92.0°F, how many gallons from the truck can be poured into the tank? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 92.0°F to 52.0°F upon entering the tank. (The coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline is 9.6 10-4 (°C)−1.)

- own write-up. Problem 1: At 20°C, a rod is exactly 20.05 cm long on a steel ruler. Both are placed in an oven at 270°C, where the rod now measures 20.11 cm on the same ruler. What is the coefficient of linear expansion for the material of which the rod is made? The coefficient of expansion for steel is as = 11 × 10-6/°C.arrow_forwardYou pour 998.00 cm3 of liquid mercury into a 1000.00 cm3-flask when both the mercury and the glass are at 4.0 ◦C. Determine the maximum temperature you can heat the system to (to the thousandth of a degree Celsius) before the mercury overflows. The mercury has a coefficient of volume expansion of 18.0 × 10−5◦C^−1 and the glass of the flask has a coefficient of volume expansion of 1.8 × 10−5◦C^ −1.arrow_forwardBob built a scale model of the bridge that is 2.637m long at the lowest temperature (T=-45 degrees Celsius) using an unknown material. When the temperature reaches the highest value (T=43 degrees Celsius), he measures again the length of the bridge finding that it has expanded L=5.56mm. Calculate the coefficient of linear expansion and find the material Bob used to make his model.arrow_forward
- A Pyrex flask in a refrigerator at –7°C is filled to the top and holds exactly 1000 cm³ of ethyl alcohol. If the refrigerator fails, how much alcohol spills by the time the temperature reaches 28°C? The coefficient of volume expansion of ethyl alcohol is 0.00112 (°C)-!. Ignore the expansion of the flask. Answer in units of cm³.arrow_forwardIn everyday experience, the measures of temperature most often used are Fahrenheit F and Celsius C. Recall that the relationship between them is given by the following formula. F = 1.8C + 32 Physicists and chemists often use the Kelvin temperature scale. You can get kelvins K from degrees Celsius by using the following formula. K = C + 273.15 (a) Calculate that value.K(25) = (b) Find a formula expressing the temperature C in degrees Celsius as a function of the temperature K in kelvins. C = (c) Find a formula expressing the temperature F in degrees Fahrenheit as a function of the temperature K in kelvins. F = (d) What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit of an object that is 272 kelvins?arrow_forwardA certain amount of gas at 25.0°C and at a pressure of 0.650 atm is contained in a glass vessel. Suppose that the vessel can withstand a pressure of 2.00 atm. How high can you raise the temperature of the gas without bursting the vessel? In other words, at what temperature will the glass vessel shatter, in degrees Celsius.arrow_forward
- A hot air balloon uses the principle of buoyancy to create lift. By making the air inside the balloon less dense then the surrounding air, the balloon is able to lift objects many times its own weight. A large hot air balloon has a maximum balloon volume of 2090 m3. a. If the air temperature in the balloon is 54 °C, how much additional mass, in kilograms, can the balloon lift? Assume the molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mol, the air density is 1.20 kg/m3, and the air pressure is 1 atm.arrow_forwardDuring an all-night cram session, a student heats up a 0.304 liter (0.304 x 10- 3 m3) glass (Pyrex) beaker of cold coffee. Initially, the temperature is 18.3 °C, and the beaker is filled to the brim. A short time later when the student returns, the temperature has risen to 96.9 °C. The coefficient of volume expansion of coffee is the same as that of water. How much coffee (in cubic meters) has spilled out of the beaker?arrow_forward
