In anticipation of winter snowstorms, ole fill his 2.50 gal gas can at the local gas station. a. if the temp. is 65.3 f on the day he fills the gas can, what volume of gas will ole have when the temp. drops to 10.5 f? b. if gas the gas costs $1.97/gas, how much money does ole lose?

Ole was at loss of $0.5142.

Explanation:

Volume of the gas at 65.3°F =

Volume of gas at 10.5°F =

Fahrenheit to Kelvin conversion:

Using Charles law: Volume of gas is directly related to temperature of the gas under constant pressure.

Cost of 1 gal of gas = $1.97

Cost of 2.50 gal of gas = 2.50 × $1.97 =$4.925

Cost of 2.2390 gal of gas = 2.2390 × $1.97 =$4.4108

Loss of money = $4.925 - $4.4108 = $0.5142
