Question: Suppose your 4 8 . 0 L ( 1 2 . 7 gal ) steel gasoline tank is full of gas, both the tank and

Suppose your 48.0 L (12.7 gal) steel gasoline tank is full of gas, both the tank and the gas have a temperature of 15.0C. The coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline is
950106/C
and for steel is
35106/C.
(a) How much gas has spilled by the time they warm to 42.0C?
L
(b) Suppose the 48.0 L tank is sealed, preventing the gasoline from overflowing. What pressure would be created in the gasoline tank if the sealed tank increases in temperature from 15.0C to 42.0C?(Use 1.00109 N/m2 as the bulk modulus for gasoline.)
N/m2
