The density of gasoline is 7.30 ✕ 102 kg/m3 at 0°C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 ✕ 10−4 (°C)−1, and note that
1.00 gal = 0.00380 m3.
(a) Calculate the mass of 8.3 gal of gas at 0°C. (Give your
answer to at least two decimal places.)
____kg
(b) If 1.000 m3 of gasoline at 0°C is warmed by 20.5°C,
calculate its new volume. (Give your answer to at least two decimal
places.)
____m3
(c) Using the answer to part (b), calculate the density of gasoline
at 20.5°C. (Give your answer to at least three significant
figures.)
____kg/m3
(d) Calculate the mass of 8.3 gal of gas at 20.5°C. (Give your
answer to at least two decimal places.)
____kg
(e) How many extra kilograms of gasoline would you get if you
bought 8.3 gal of gasoline at 0°C rather than at 20.5°C from a pump
that is not temperature compensated?
____kg
