Early in the morning, when the temperature is 5.5 °C, gasoline is pumped into a car’s 53-L steel gas tank until it is filled to the top. Later in the day the temperature rises to 27 °C. Since the volume of gasoline increases more for a given temperature increase than the volume of the steel tank, gasoline will spill out of the tank. How much gasoline spills out in this case?

- 10. Imagine you have a system in which you have 54 grams of ice. You can melt this ice and then vaporize it all at 0 C. The melting and vaporization are done reversibly into a balloon held at a pressure of 0.250 bar. Here are some facts about water you may wish to know. The density of liquid water at 0 C is 1 g/cm³. The density of ice at 0 C is 0.917 g/cm³. The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water is 2.496 kJ/gram and the enthalpy of fusion of solid water is 333.55 J/gram. A. How much energy does the ice absorb as heat when it melts? B. How much work is involved in melting the ice? C. What is the total change in energy for melting the ice? D. What is the enthalpy change for melting the ice? E. What is the entropy change for melting the ice? F. What is the change in Helmholtz energy for melting the ice? G. What is the change in Gibbs energy for melting the ice?arrow_forwardIn the figure Q = 5.7 nC and all other quantities are accurate to 2 significant figures.

Express your answer (a vector) using any or all of k, q0, q1, q2, d1, d2, i^, j^, and k^. 3) Particle 0 experiences a repulsion from particle 1 and an attraction toward particle 2. For certain values of d1 and d2, the repulsion and attraction should balance each other, resulting in no net force. For what ratio d1/d2 is there no net force on particle 0?
