Read the following story and answer multiple choice question below: During one particular harsh winter in Minnesota, the high temperature during the day was -23 ºF. Jon noticed that the new snow tires he had purchased during late summer were sluggish and seemed somewhat flat. The following day, when the atmospheric pressure was about the same, the high temperature warmed up to 40 ºF, and Jon found the car handled better. The following day was again very cold, with the temperature reaching a high of only -30 ºF, and again the car handled sluggishly on the snow-packed roadways. 1).Which one of the following statements is most likely true for the observations described above? A) The pressure in the tires changed with the pressure of the atmosphere. B) The pressure in the tires changed because they lost air. C) The pressure in the tires did not change. The more brittle snow made it appear that the tires had lost some air. D) The pressure in the tires was lower on the colder days. Story continues: Jon continued to drive on the tires and noticed that during the warmer months of spring, the tires appeared to be full and did not require any attention. 2).Use the information given here and in the paragraph above to write a brief explanation (2 or 3 sentences) of why the tires were sluggish and appeared to be flat on the cold winter days. 3). The ideal gas laws says that pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles of gas are related through the ideal gas law equation. In a brief paragraph (3-6 sentences), describe at least two examples of how the ideal gas law is relevant to the human experience (other than in the above example). Be specific in your descriptions.
