An underground gasoline tank can hold 1.10 × 10³ gallons of gasoline at 52.0°F. If the tank is being filled on a day when the outdoor temperature (and the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 97.0°F, how many gallons from the truck can be poured into the tank? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 97.0°F to 52.0°F upon entering the tank.

Question
An underground gasoline tank can hold 1.10 × 10³ gallons of gasoline at 52.0°F. If the tank
day when the outdoor temperature (and the gasoline in a tanker truck) is 97.0°F, how many gallons from the
truck can be poured into the tank? Assume the temperature of the gasoline quickly cools from 97.0°F to
being filled on a
52.0°F upon entering the tank.
Step 1
We will convert the initial and final Fahrenheit temperatures of the gasoline to degrees Celsius using
Tc =(TF - 32.0).
For the initial temperature in degrees Celsius, we have
Ti,c =(C
°F - 32.0
°C,
=
and for the final temperature in degrees Celsius, we have
Trc =
°F - 32.0) =|
°C.
