Question

A car tyre has a pressure of 2.6 atm at 10°C. If the pressure inside

reaches 5 atm, the tyre will fail. How hot would the tyre have to get for
this to happen?

Answer 1

T = 271.23 degree celcius

Step-by-step explanation:

For the gas inside the tyre

PV = nRT

So, P is directly proportional to T.

`(P_(1) )/(P_(2) )` =
`(T_(1) )/(T_(2) )`

`(2.6)/(5)` =
`(283)/(T)`

T = 544.23 K = 271.23 degree celcius

So, Tyre have to get the temperature 271.23 degree celcius for this to happen.
