Question

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.)

Answer 1

• 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`

Answer 2

4.44J (creds to commenter on the post, just making it bigger)
