A bicycle tyre is filled with air having pressure of 270 kPa at 27^ C . The approximate pressure of the air in the tyre when the temperature increases to 36^ C is
Options
- A270 kPa
- B262 KPa
- C278 kPa
- D360 kPa
Correct answer
C. 278 kPa
Step-by-step solution
From the ideal gas equation PV = nRT Here, volume is constant P ₁ ~T ₁ = P ₂ ~T ₂ Here, T₁=27+273=300 ~K P₁=270 kPa T ₂=36+273=309 ~K P₂= P₁ T₁ T₂= 270 (309) 300 =278 kPa
