Question

Due to the friction between a tire and the road surface, the temperature of the air inside a tire increases as one drives. If the tire pressure is 37 psi when the car is in the driveway at 25° C, What is the pressure of the tire when the temperature increases to 50° C?

Answer 1

Answer:

40.10 atm .

Explanation:

Here volume of tire is assumed to be nearly constant .

Modified gas law ,

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

37 / ( 273 + 25 ) = P₂ / ( 273 + 50)

37 / 298 = P₂ / 323

P₂ = 37 x 323 / 298

= 40.10 atm .
