an open steel can of volume 216 L is filled to the top with gasoline at 13.5 C. when it warms to 36.0 C, how much gas spills over? (don't forget, both the can and the gasoline are expanding.)

  • Mass=m=5.61kg
  • ∆T=0.124°C=274K
  • Heat=Q=1320J


\\ \sf\longmapsto Q=mc\Delta T


\\ \sf\longmapsto c=(Q)/(m\Delta T)


\\ \sf\longmapsto c=(1320)/(5.61(274))


\\ \sf\longmapsto c=(1320)/(1537.14)


\\ \sf\longmapsto c=0.85J/kgK
