The tyre of a motor car contains air at 15^ C . If the temperature increases to 35^ C , the approximate percentage increase in pressure is (ignore to expansion of tyre)
Options
- A7
- B9
- C11
- D13
Correct answer
A. 7
Step-by-step solution
aligned T₁=15^ C & =15+273=288 ~K T₂ & =35^ C =35+273=308 ~K aligned Volume remains constant. So, aligned & p₁ T₁ = p₂ T₂ & p₁ P₂ = T₁ T₂ p₁ P₂ = 288 308 & p₂ p₁ = 308 288 aligned aligned % increase in pressure & = p₂-p₁ p₁ 100 & = 308-288 288 100 & 7 % aligned
