Most cars have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0-L capacity when at 10.0°C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach a temperature of 95.0°C, given that the fluid's volume coefficient of expansion is B = 400x10-6/C?

A high-pressure gas cylinder contains 50.13 L of toxic gas at a pressure of 1.40 × 10¹N/m² and a temperature of 25.0°C. Its value leaks after the cylinder is dropped. The cylinder is cooled to dry ice temperature (-78.5°C) to reduce the leak rate and pressure so that it can be safely repaired. (a) What is the final pressure in the tank, assuming a negligible amount of gas leaks while being cooled and that there is no phase change?

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.
Two massless, frictionless pistons are inside a horizontal tube opened at both ends. A 10-cm-long thread connects the pistons. The cross-sectional area of the tube is 20 cm2.
