The driver from Practice Problem 13.3 fills his 18.9-L steel gasoline can in the morning when the temperature of the can and the gasoline is 15.0 °C and the pressure is 1.0 atm, but this time he remembers to replace the tightly fitting cap after filling the can. Assume that the can is completely full of gasoline (no air space) and that the cap does not leak. The temperature climbs to 30.0 °C. Ignoring the expansion of the steel can, what would be the pressure of the heated gasoline? The bulk modulus for gasoline is 1.00 × 109 N/m2.
