Question

A container made of steel, which has a coefficient of linear expansion 11 X 10^-6 (°C)^-1, has a volume of 40.5 gallons. The container is filled to the top with turpentine, which has a coefficient of volume expansion of 9.0 X 10^-4 (°C)^-1, when the temperature is 10.0°C. If the temperature rises to 29.0°C, how much turpentine (in gal) will spill over the edge of the container?

Step 1

Given: Initial temperature, Ti = 10.0°C Final temperature, Tf = 29.0°C Initial volume of turpentine, V_initial = 40.5 gallons Coefficient of volume expansion for turpentine, β_turpentine = 9.0 x 10^-4 (°C)^-1 Change in temperature, ΔT = Tf - Ti = 29.0°C - 10.0°C Show more…
