Chapter 11, Problem 56E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Rise of pressure in the tire is to calculate if the temperature increase and volume remain constant.

Concept introduction:

According to combined gas law, volume is inversely proportional to pressure $\left(V\propto \frac{1}{P}\right)$ and directly proportional to temperature $\left(V\propto T\right)$.

Here, $P$ is pressure, $V$ is volume, $T$ is temperature.

Expression of combined gas law is:

$V\propto \frac{T}{P}$

Or,

$\frac{PV}{T}=\text{constant}$

It can be applied when the amount of gas is constant.
