A bicycle tire whose volume is 4.1 x 10-4 m3 has a temperature of 297 K and an absolute pressure of 4.27 x 105 Pa. A cyclist brings the pressure up to 7.33 x 105 Pa without changing the temperature or volume. How many moles of air must be pumped into the tire?

Step 1
27 x 10^5 Pa Final pressure, P2 = 7.33 x 10^5 Pa Change in pressure = P2 - P1 Change in pressure = 7.33 x 10^5 - 4.27 x 10^5 Change in pressure = 3.06 x 10^5 Pa Show more…
