Chapter 5, Problem 9QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The actual pressure in the tire and the gauge pressure should be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The ideal gas equation is as follows:

$PV=nRT$

Here, P is pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is Universal gas constant and T is temperature.

If the number of moles and volume of the gas is constant, the relation between two pressure and temperature values is as follows:

$\frac{P_2}{P_1}=\frac{T_2}{T_1}$
