A bicycle tire is inflated to a pressure of 3.72 atm at 17.3 degrees C. Assuming the tire volume does not change, when the tire is heated to 35.9 degrees C, what is the pressure in the tire?

Step 1
3 °C + 273.15 = 290.45 K; T2 = 35.9 °C + 273.15 = 309.05 K. Show more…

A bicycle tire is inflated to a pressure of 3.74 atm at $15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The tire is heated to $35^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Calculate the pressure in the tire. Assume the tire volume doesn't change.
A bicycle tire is inflated to a gauge pressure of 2.50 atm when the temperature is $15.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . While a man rides the bicycle, the temperature of the tire rises to $45.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . Assuming the volume of the tire does not change, find the gauge pressure in the tire at the higher temperature.
A bicycle tire is inflated to a gauge pressure of $2.5$ atm when the temperature is $15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. While a man is riding the bicycle, the temperature of the tire increases to $45^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Assuming the volume of the tire does not change, what is the gauge pressure in the tire at the higher temperature?
