What is the gauge pressure (in atm) in a 25.0°C car tire containing 3.81 mol of gas in a 31.5 L volume? (Enter your answer to at least 2 decimal places.)

Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of gas [tex]T=25^{\circ}C\approx 298\ K[/tex]

Volume of gas [tex]V=31.5\ L\approx 31.5\times 10^{-3}\ m^3[/tex]

no of moles of gas [tex]n=3.81\ mol[/tex]

Using Ideal gas Equation to find the Pressure of gas

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

where P=Absolute Pressure

V=Volume

R=Universal gas constant

T=Temperature

[tex]P\times 31.5\times 10^{-3}=3.81\times 8.314\times 298[/tex]

[tex]P=\frac{3.81\times 8.314\times 298}{31.5\times 10^{-3}}[/tex]

[tex]P=299.66\ kPa[/tex]

And we know Atmospheric Pressure is [tex]101.325\ kPa[/tex]

Therefore Gauge pressure is given by

[tex]P_{gauge}=P-P_{atm}[/tex]

[tex]P_{gauge}=299.66-101.325[/tex]

[tex]P=198.34\ kPa[/tex]
