Can you explain it? Thank you!
A ship is filled with 5 × 105 m3 of gasoline at a refinery in southern California when the temperature is 27.2 °C. When the ship arrives in NYC, the temperature is -3 °C. If the coefficient of volumetric expansion for gasoline is 9.50 × 10–4/C°, how much has the volume of the gasoline decreased when it is unloaded in NYC?

A car has 60 L steel gas tank filled to the top with gasoline when the temperature is 10 C. The coefficient of volume expansion of gasoline is B = 0.900 X 10-3 K-1. Taking the expansion of the steel tank into account how much gasoline spills out of the tank when the car is parked in the Sun and its temperature rises to 25 C? (The linear coefficient of expansion for steel is 11 X 10-6 K-1 )

A car has a 45 L steel gas tank filled to the top with gasoline when the temperature is 10°C. The coefficient of volume expansion of gasoline is β = 0.900 x 10-3 K-1. Taking the expansion of the steel tank into account, how much gasoline spills out of the tank when the car is parked in the sun and its temperature rises to 31°C? The coefficient of linear expansion of steel is β = 0.110 x 10-4 K-1.

Hi, could you please explain step-by-step what to do? Thank you. Two glass bulbs, each with the same volume, are connected together (and open to each other) and filled with Ar(g). When the two bulbs are immersed in a water bath at 85°C, the gas pressure is 0.78 atm. One of the bulbs is then removed (but not disconnected from the other) from the water bath at 85°C and immersed in a water bath at 22°C. Now, what is the...
