An underground tank with a capacity of 1800 LL (1.80 m3m3 ) is completely filled with ethanol that has an initial temperature of 19.6 ∘C∘C. After the ethanol has cooled off to the temperature of the tank and ground, which is 10.0 ∘C∘C, how much air space will there be above the ethanol in the tank? (Coefficient of volume expansion of ethanol is 75×10−5(K)−175×10−5(K)−1, and assume that the volume of the tank doesn't change appreciably.) V air= -------------- L
