An automobile gas tank is filled to its capacity of 15.00 gallons with the gasoline at an initial temperature of 10°C. The automobile is parked in the sun causing the gasoline's temperature to rise to 60°C. If the coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline is 9.6 x 10-4/C°, what volume runs out the overflow tube? Assume the change in volume of the tank is negligible. O 0.30 gallons O 1.74 gallons O 0.25 gallons O 0.72 gallons

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.
Suppose a gas-filled incandescent light bulb is manufactured so that the gas inside the bulb is at atmospheric pressure when the bulb has a temperature of 20.0 . (a) Find the gauge pressure inside such a bulb when it is hot, assuming its average temperature is 60.0 (an approximation) and neglecting any change in volume due to thermal expansion or gas leaks. (b) The actual final pressure for the light bulb will be less than calculated in part (a) because the glass bulb will expand. Is this effect significant?
A cubic container of volume 2.00 L holds 0.500 mol of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 25.0 . What is the net force due to the nitrogen on one wall of the container? Compare that force to the sample's weight.
Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.
