Question
The density of gasoline is 7.30 3 102 kg/m3 at 0C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 3 1024(C)21, and note that 1.00 gal 5 0.003 80 m3. (a) Calculate the mass of 10.0 gal of gas at 0C. (b) If 1.000 m3 of gasoline at 0C is warmed by 20.0C, calculate its new volume. (c) Using the answer to part (b), calculate the density of gasoline at 20.0C. (d) Calculate the mass of 10.0 gal of gas at 20.0C. (e) How many extra kilograms of gasoline would you get if you bought 10.0 gal of gasoline at 0C rather than at 20.0C from a pump that is not temperature compensated?
Solution
The first step in solving 10 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The density of gasoline is 7.30 3 102 kg/m3 at 0C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 3 1024(C)21, and note that 1.00 gal 5 0.003 80 m3. (a) Calculate the mass of 10.0 gal of gas at 0C. (b) If 1.000 m3 of gasoline at 0C is warmed by 20.0C, calculate its new volume. (c) Using the answer to part (b), calculate the density of gasoline at 20.0C. (d) Calculate the mass of 10.0 gal of gas at 20.0C. (e) How many extra kilograms of gasoline would you get if you bought 10.0 gal of gasoline at 0C rather than at 20.0C from a pump that is not temperature compensated?
