Question

A bicycle tire is inflated to a gauge pressure of 3.0 atm when the temperatureis 13°C. While a man isriding the bicycle, the temperature of the tire increases to45°C. Assuming the volume of the tire does not change, what isthe gauge pressure in the tire at the higher temperature?
atm
I keep working this one and 3.49and 3.44 are the answers i get. Once again, they are closebut not exactly correct. Thanks for the help!

Explanation / Answer

P1.V1/T1 = P2.V2/T2
P1 = 3 atm V1 = V2 (volume doesn't change) T1 = 273 + 13 = 286K P2 = ? T2 = 273 + 45 = 318K
3.V/286 = P2.V/318 3/286 = P2/318 P2 = 318.3/286 P2 = 3,3356 atm
