The volume coefficient of thermal expansion for gasoline is 950 × 10 -6 K -1. By how many cubic centimeters does the volume of 1.00 L of gasoline change when the temperature rises from 30°C to 50°C?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  19 cm³

Explanation:

The coefficient of thermal expansion is the ratio of the change in volume to the reference volume for each degree change in temperature. Hence the change in volume is found by multiplying by the reference volume and the change in temperature.

  (1000 cm³)(0.950·10⁻³/K)(50-30)K = 19 cm³ . . . volume increase
