Serway & Jewett — Temperature: Problem 34

The density of gasoline is \(730 \text{ kg/m}^3\) at \(0^\circ\text{C}\). Its average coefficient of volume expansion is \(9.60 \times 10^{-4} \text{ (}^\circ\text{C})^{-1}\). Assume \(1.00 \text{ gal}\) of gasoline occupies \(0.003\,80 \text{ m}^3\). How many extra kilograms of gasoline would you receive if you bought \(10.0 \text{ gal}\) of gasoline at \(0^\circ\text{C}\) rather than at \(20.0^\circ\text{C}\) from a pump that is not temperature compensated?
