Question #afbca
1 Answer
Relevant equation to be used is
#ΔV=V_iβΔT#
where#DeltaV# is change of volume,#V_i# is initial volume,#beta# is Coefficient of Volume Expansion and#DeltaT# is change in temperature.
- For aluminum cylinder
#ΔV_c=1xx6.9xx10^-5xx(65-5)#
#=>ΔV_c=4.14ml# - For gasoline
#ΔV_c=1xx9.5xx10^-4xx(65-5)#
#ΔV_c=57ml#
Boiling point of gasoline ranges between
All the samples of gasoline which have boiling points
For other samples, ignoring evaporation losses, the spillage is the difference between the volume expansion of gasoline and of aluminum cylinder.
