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
Given here, P 1 = 270   kPa ,   T 1 = 27 + 273 = 300   K ,   T 2 = 36 + 273 = 309   K Ideal gas equation is given by P V = n R T . Considering isochoric process, i.e., constant volume so P ∝ T Thus, P 1 T 1 = P 2 T 2 ⇒ P 2 = P 1 T 1 × T 2 = 270 × 309 300 = 278   kPa
