Answer to Problem 42PP
As the truck moved to colder region, volume of gasoline reduced, but the mass remains the same.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Gasoline is a mixture of volatile and also, flammable liquid hydrocarbon. It is derived from petroleum. Also, it is used for internal-combustion engines.
Change in gasoline is dependent on the temperature. The colder the liquid, the denser it gets. Thus, as the truck filled with gasoline moved from
Hence, volume of gasoline reduced because the temperature decreased. Also, the mass of the gasoline remained the same.
Conclusion: Gasoline got denser as its volume also decreased, but the mass remained same.
