Ethanol has a density of 800 kg/m³ at 0°C and an average coefficient of volume expansion of 1.09 x 10-³(°C)-1. Imagine you are pumping ethanol into a vehicle's fuel tank. How many extra kilograms of ethanol would you receive if you bought 10.2 gal of ethanol at 0°C rather than at 24.8°C from a pump that is not temperature compensated? Note that 1 gallon is 3.7854 x 10-3 m³. (Include the sign of the value in your answer.) kg
