Question

(4%) Problem 22: The gauge pressure in your car tires is 2.5 x 105 Pa at a temperature of 350°C when you drive it onto a ferry boat to Alaska what is the gauge pressure of the tires, in pascals, later when the temperature has dropped to-400°C?

Notice that the pressure being given is the gauge, not the absolute

Explanation / Answer

given that

P = 2.5*105 Pa

T1 = 35 oC = 308.15 K

T2 = -40oC =233.15 K

the expression for initial pressure

P1 = P + Patm

P1 = 2.5*105 + 1.013*105

P1 = 3.513 *105 Pa

From the ideal gas law

P1*V1 / P2*V2 = n*R*T1/n*R*T2

Here ,volume is constant .

P2 = P1*T2 / T1

P2 =  3.513 *105 *233.15 / 308.15

P2 = 2.65 *105 Pa

The expression for the final guage pressure ,

P2 = P' + Patm

P' = P2 - Patm

P'  = 2.65 *105 - 1.013*105

P' = 1.637*105 Pa
