A tyre of a vehicle is filled with air having pressure 270 kPa at 27^ C . The air pressure in the tyre when the temperature increases to 37^ C is
Options
- A282 kPa
- B270 kPa
- C265 kPa
- D279 kPa
Correct answer
D. 279 kPa
Step-by-step solution
Gay-Lussac’s Law applies for a fixed mass of gas at constant volume, with pressure proportional to absolute temperature: P₁ T₁ = P₂ T₂ . Convert temperatures to Kelvin: T₁ = 27 + 273 = 300 K T₂ = 37 + 273 = 310 K Given P₁ = 270 kPa, solve for P₂ : P₂ = P₁ T₂ T₁ = 270 310 300 = 270 31 30 = 279 kPa The final pressure is 279 kPa.
