A 5.0 L steel gas can is filled to the brim with gasoline at 10°C. Taking into account the expansion of the gas can, how much gasoline spills out when the gas and the gas can both reach 25°C when left out in the sunshine on a summer day. Given that the gas can is an isotropic solid, and that the coefficient of linear thermal expansion for steel is: 11 × 10-6 K-¹ and that the coefficient of volume thermal expansion for gasoline is 0.90 × 10-³ K-¹.
