16) Suppose your car is equipped with tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and the tire pressure is 34.0 psi on a 98 °F day in California. You decided to take a road trip to Alaska where the temperature drops to 20 °F. As you arrived in Alaska, you noticed that the tire pressure monitoring system alert light is illuminated. Why did this happen? A) as temperature decreases, gas molecules lose kinetic energy and the volume of gas increases thus reducing the overall pressure in the tire which results in the TPMS to become activated B) as temperature decreases, gas molecules lose kinetic energy and the volume of gas is reduced thus reducing the overall pressure in the tire which results in the TPMS to become activated C) as temperature decreases, gas molecules gain kinetic energy and the volume of gas is reduced thus reducing the overall pressure in the tire which results in the TPMS to become activated

Suppose you have a sample of N2 gas in a 5.45 L container at 2.3 bar, 39.5°C.
An automobile tire has a maximum rating of 38.0 psi (gauge pressure). The tire is inflated (while cold) to a volume of 11.8 L and a gauge pressure of 36.0 psi (Note: The gauge pressure is the difference between the total pressure and atmospheric pressure. In this case, assume that atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi.) at a temperature of 12.0 ∘C. While driving on a hot day, the tire warms to 65.0 ∘C and its volume expands to 12.2 L. What is the total pressure (gauge pressure + atmospheric pressure) in the tire after warming on a hot day?
