The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature is 25 degC, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m^3, the pressure rises in the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to 50 degC. Determine the amount of air, in kg, that must be bled off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa
Measuring the drop in pressure with a manometer as a function of temperature within a sealed container filled with an ideal gas provides a technique to show that the magnitude of "zero absolute temperature" or OK corresponds to -273 °C. If this experiment is conducted, starting at 1 atm and 67 °C, instead of in boiling water, what will the pressure be, in mmHg, when cooled to 0°C?
