Predict/Calculate A bicycle tire with a volume of 0.00212 m3 is filled to its recommended absolute pressure of 495 kPa on a cold winter day when the tire’s temperature is −15 °C. The cyclist then brings his bicycle into a hot laundry room at 32 °C. (a) If the tire warms up while its volume remains constant, will the pressure increase be greater than, less than, or equal to the manufacturer’s stated 10% overpressure limit? (b) Find the absolute pressure in the tire when it warms to 32 °C at constant volume.

(a) Find the gauge pressure inside such a bulb when it is hot, assuming its average temperature is 60.0 (an approximation) and neglecting any change in volume due to thermal expansion or gas leaks. (b) The actual final pressure for the light bulb will be less than calculated in part (a) because the glass bulb will expand.

Initially, the wall is kept in place by a stopper so that there are 0.02 mol of the nitrogen gas on one side and 0.03 mol of the oxygen gas on the other side, each occupying half the volume.

Brarhiosaurus had its nostrils on the top of its head. In 1977, Knut Schmidt-Nielsen pointed out that breathing would be too much work for such a creature. For a simple model, consider a sample consisting of 10.0 L of air at absolute pressure 2.00 atm, with density 2.40 kg/m3, located at the surface of a freshwater lake. Find the work required to transport it to a depth of 10.3 m, with its temperature, volume, and pressure remaining constant. This energy investment is greater than the energy that can be obtained by metabolism of food with the oxygen in that quantity of air.arrow_forward
