Here is a problem lI've encountered a few times, and it could lead to a dangerous accident and fire. I filled the gas tank of my truck (25 gal) all the way to the top when the temperature was 23°C. After sitting in the Sun all day, the temperature of the gasoline and the steel tank rose to about 35°C. The coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline (96 x 10* °c") is greater than that for steel (1.1 x 105 °C), and so some gas overflowed out of the tank and on to the ground. Fortunately no one threw a lighted cigarette on the ground by my rig. About how much gas would overflow under these conditions? A. 0.82 gal (B)0.28 gal C. 0.93 gal D. 0.39 gal

The answer is B. Pls explain well

Here is a problem lI've encountered a few times, and it could lead to a dangerous accident and fire. I filled
the gas tank of my truck (25 gal) all the way to the top when the temperature was 23°C. After sitting in the
Sun all day, the temperature of the gasoline and the steel tank rose to about 35°C. The coefficient of
volume expansion for gasoline (96 x 10 °C) is greater than that for steel (1.1 x 10 °C'), and so some
gas overflowed out of the tank and on to the ground. Fortunately no one threw a lighted cigarette on the
ground by my rig. About how much gas would overflow under these conditions?
A. 0.82 gal
O0.28 gal
C. 0.93 gal
D. 0.39 gal
