Question

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 15.0°C. The coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline is 950 ✕ 10⁻⁶/°C and for steel is 35 ✕ 10⁻⁶/°C. (a) How much gas has spilled by the time they warm to 48.0°C? Correct: Your answer is correct. 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 15.0°C to 48.0°C? (Use 1.00 x10⁹ N/m2 as the bulk modulus for gasoline.) Need help with the second part.

(6) AP= BX/AV I = Bx ( Pegasulene - Psteel ) AT = 109x(950x166 - 35x1600)*(48-15) = 3:0195 x 10? Pa Answer
