Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid that may overflow when the engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 15.8 L capacity when at 18.5°C. What volume (in L) of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0°C operating temperature, given that the fluid's volume coefficient of expansion is ? = 400 ✕ 10−6/°C? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0°C.
