The average coefficient of volume expansion for carbon tetrachloride is 5.81 x 10^–4 (°C)–1 . If a 50.0-gal steel container is filled completely with carbon tetrachloride when the temperature is 10.0°C, how much will spill over when the temperature rises to 30.0°C. The coefficient of expansion for steel is11 x 10^-6.

Respuesta :

Answer:0.548 gallon

Explanation:

Given

Average coefficient of volume expansion for carbon Tetrachloride [tex]\beta =5.81\times 10^{-4} /^{\circ}C[/tex]

Volume of steel container [tex]V=50 gallon[/tex]

Initial temperature [tex]T_i=10^{\circ}C[/tex]

Final temperature [tex]T_f=30^{\circ}C[/tex]

[tex]\Delta T=20^{\circ}C[/tex]

Coefficient of expansion for steel is [tex]\alpha =11\times 10^{-6}[/tex]

[tex]\beta =3\alpha =3\times 11\times 10^{-6}[/tex]

[tex]\beta =33\times 10^{-6}/^{\circ}C[/tex]

[tex]\Delta V_{spill}=\Delta V_{liquid}-\Delta V_{steel}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta V_{spill}=(\beta _{carbon}-\beta _{steel})V_0(\Delta T)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta V_{spill}=(5.81\times 10^{-4}-33\times 10^{-6})50\times 20[/tex]

[tex]\Delta V_{spill}=0.548\ gallon[/tex]
