(b) A trucker loaded a tank with diesel fuel on a hot day in City A. The tank is 1.80 in diameter and 5.000 m in length. He then drove and reached to City B, where temperature was 13.0 K lower than City A and delivered the entire load. [The coefficient of volume expansion of the diesel is 9.50 x 10-4 °C-1]. Determine the (i) volume of the diesel fuel (in liters) that he delivered. (ii) percentage of fractional change in the volume of diesel fuel.

One of a dilute diatomic gas occupying a volume of 10.00 L expands against a constant pressure of 2.000 atm when it is slowly heated. If the temperature of the gas rises by 10.00 K and 400.0 J of heat are added in the process, what is its final volume?
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.
An ideal gas initially at 300 K undergoes an isobaric expansion at 2.50 kPa. If the volume increases from 1.00 m3 to 3.00 m3 and 12.5 kJ is transferred to the gas by heat, what are (a) the change in its internal energy and (b) its final temperature?
An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)
In an ultrahigh vacuum system (with typical pressures lower than 10-7 pascal), the pressure is measured to be 1.00 x 10-10 torr (where 1 torr = 133 Pa). Assuming the temperature is 310 K, find the number of molecules in a volume of 1.00 m3.
calculate the molar heat capacity at pressure and volume constant (cv and cp) when knowing y=cp/cv=1.4 and the gas density of p0=1.3kg/m3
Let’s imagine that at the beginning of a journey a truck tire has a volume of 30,000 cm3 and an internal pressure of 170 kPa. The temperature of the tire is 16∘C. By the end of the trip, the volume of the tire has increased to 32,000 cm3 and the temperature of the air inside the tire is 40∘C. What is the tire pressure at the end of the journey?
A wire is 21.0 m long at 3.50°C and is 1.51 cm longer at 33.5°C. Find the wire's coefficient of linear expansion (in (°C)−1).
Suppose that an ideal gas in a sealed metal container (so it has a fixed volume) has its temperature increased by a factor of 4.80x. By what factor would the pressure of the gas increase or decrease in the container?
By what factor would a scuba diver’s lungs expand if she as-cended rapidly to the surface from a depth of 125 ft without in-haling or exhaling? If an expansion factor greater than 1.5 causeslung rupture, how far could she safely ascend from 125 ft with-out breathing? Assume constant temperature (d of seawater =1.04 g/mL; d of Hg =13.5 g/mL)
Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 14.2 L capacity when at 18.0°C. What volume (in L) of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0°C operating temperature, given that the fluid's volume coefficient of expansion is ? = 400 ✕ 10−6/°C? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0°C. _______________ L
The absolute pressure in your car tires is 3.3 × 105 Pa at a temperature of 35.0°C when you drive it onto a ferry boat to Alaska. -What is the absolute pressure of the tires, in pascals, later when the temperature has dropped to -40.0°C? Assume the volume of each tire does not change.
