Learning Goal:
To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 14.1 Thermal expansion
A metal tank with a capacity of 1700 LL is completely filled with ethanol when both the tank and the ethanol are at temperature 19.0CC. Then the tank and its contents are brought underground, where the temperature is 10.0CC . What volume of air will there be above the ethanol in the tank after the system has cooled off to the ground temperature? The coefficient of volume expansion for ethanol is ee =1.10103 K1K1. The tank is made of a metal for which the coefficient of linear expansion is tt =1.20105 K1K1.
Which of the following statements correctly describes the volume change of the ethanol and the metal tank? It may help you to think of the tank as a cylindrical shell.
