The gauge pressure in your car tires is 2.50×10^5N/m22.50×10^5⁢N/m^2 at a temperature of 35.0ºC when you drive it onto a ferry boat to Alaska. What is their gauge pressure later, when their temperature has dropped to -40.0ºC?

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]3.30\times 10^5N/m^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's Law: This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

[tex]P\propto T[/tex]     (At constant volume and number of moles)

[tex]{P_1\times T_1}={P_2\times T_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas  = [tex]2.50\times 10^5N/m^2[/tex]

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas  = ?

[tex]T_1[/tex] = initial temperature of gas  = [tex]35^0C=(35+273)K=308K [/tex]

[tex]T_2[/tex] = final temperature of gas  =  [tex]-40^0C=(-40+273)K=233K [/tex]

[tex]{2.50\times 10^5N/m^2\times 308}={P_2\times 233}[/tex]

[tex]P_2=3.30\times 10^5N/m^2[/tex]

Therefore, the final gauge pressure in the car tires is [tex]3.30\times 10^5N/m^2[/tex]
