One problem that scientists must take into account is volumetric expansion. Consider a 50.0-gallon metal canister of diameter 22.0 inches filled with a radioactive waste possessing a coefficient of volume expansion of 9.60 x 104 (c) 1. his canister will be filled at room temperature (23.00C) and lowered deep into the Earth (where temperatures can reach 151°C) for storage. If the coefficient of volume expansion of the metal is 4.10 x 105 (c) 1, how much waste will spill over the top if the lid becomes loose? Number 2.6 gallons There is a hint available!

Explanation / Answer

) Vi1 = 50.0-gallon
D = 22.0 inches
r1 = 9.60 × 10-4 (°C)–1
T2 - T1 = 151 - 23 = 128
r2 = 4.10 × 10-5 (°C)–1
Spill = Vf2 - Vf1

        = 50x( 9.60 x 10^-4 - 4.10 x 10^-5 ) x 128

        = 5.882 gallons
