A truck tire has a volume of 218 L and is filled with air to 35.0 psi at 295 K. After a drive, the air heats up to 318 K. (c) If the tire leaks 1.5 g of air per minute and the temperature is constant, how many minutes will it take for the tire to reach the original pressure of 35.0 psi (M of air = 28.8 g/mol)?

Respuesta :

It will take 7.777 minutes for the tire to reach the original pressure of     35.0 psi .

Given ,

A truck tire has a volume of 218L and is filled with air to 35.0psi at 295K .

After a drive , the air heats up to 318K .

a) Given , volume is constant .

P1 = 35 psi   ,  T1 =295K   ,   T2 = 318K   ,    P2 = ?

We know , ideal gas equation ,

PV= nRT

=> P1/T1= P2/T2

=> P2 = P1 *T2/T1 =35 *(318) / 295 = 37 psi

b) the volume increased by 2% .

2% of 218 = 4.36

V2 = 222.36 L

P1 *V1=P2*V2

=> P2 = P1*V1/V2 = 35*(218)/ 222.36 = 34.313 psi

c) Given , the temperature is constant ,

thus , P1/n1 = P2/n2

=> n1/n2 = P1/P2 = 35/34.313 = 1.02

=> n1 = 1.02 n2

At the initial condition ,

PV = nRT

n1 = P1 V1 / R T1  

=  241316.495 pa * (218 L ) / 295K *( 8.314 *10^3 pa L K^-1 mol^-1)

= 52606.9959/2452.63 = 21.449 mol

n2 = 21.02 mol

n= n1-n2 = 0.42 mol

given , the mass of air is 28.8g .

thus 1.5g of gas contains = 0.054 mol

thus , 0.054 mol gas lose in 1 minutes

0.42 mol of gas lose in = 0.42/0.054 = 7.777 minutes

Hence , it will take for the tire to reach the original pressure of 35.0 psi is 7.777 minutes .
