The gauge pressure of a tire is 34.5 psi.
The atmospheric pressure gauge pressure outside the tire is 14.7 psi What is the actual air pressure inside the tire?

If this tire goes flat, what is the gauge pressure? What is the actual airpressure inside the flat tire?
If you take this same inflated tire that has a gauge pressure of 34.5 psi up the mountain to an altitude where the atmospheric pressure is 11.4 psi, what gauge pressure will you read? Explain.

Calculate the volume of air within a typical bicycle tire (or, if you like, choose an atypical tire size that you prefer). This calculation does not need to be precise: A reasonable approximation would be the volume of a cylinder with the radius of the inner tube and the length of its circumference.

(b) Calculate the number of moles of air molecules in the inflated tire. For this calculation, it is reasonable to treat the air as an ideal gas and use the gas constant with units of atmospheres for pressure and liters for volume: R = 0.08206 L · atm · K −1mol−1 Assume that the temperature is 300 K, and be sure to indicate the final pressure that you are assuming. What is the initial volume of the air at atmospheric pressure?

(c) Calculate the entropy change, at 300 K, for compressing the air from 1 atm to the final pressure.

(d) How would you go about filling the tire with the minimum amount of work? What conditions would you maintain during this process? What is the minimum amount of work required?

(e) If you have much experience with this activity, you probably know that the temperature of the air is likely to increase as you fill the tire. Why does the temperature increase? How would you expect the temperature increase to affect the amount of work that you have to do? (f) Suppose that you have just eaten a candy bar. How many tires must you pump up to work off the nutritional energy of the candy bar, assuming that 10% of the candy bar calories are converted to work (and the rest to metabolic heat)? Also assume that the temperature of the air remains constant and that you use the minimum amount of work to pump up each tire. Be careful: nutritional information is usually reported in “big C” calories, which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 Kg of water by 1 ◦C, not 1 g.

sClassify each situation by the equation that would quantify it.

A container of ammonia cleaner is stored in the janitor's closet off a lecture hall after being used at night for cleaning. The container has a very small hole in the lid. The next morning the entire lecture hall smells of ammonia. How would you calculate the speed of the ammonia molecules as they move out into the lecture hall?

The pressure on a tire pump is read. The handle of the pump is pushed down as far as possible. The reading of the pressure on the gauge is taken again. How would you calculate the final pressure?

A front-end collision causes the air bag in an automobile to deploy by the reaction of sodium azide to produce nitrogen gas. How would you calculate how much sodium azide is needed to fill a standard size bag with nitrogen under STP conditions?

Aerosol cans have a label that warns the user not to use them above a certain temperature and not to dispose of them by incineration. Even an empty can contains residual gaseous propellant. If the residual pressure in the can is 1.31 atm when it is sitting on a shelf near a furnace, how could you calculate the pressure when the can is placed on top of the furnace where the temperature reaches the boiling point of water?

In an automobile engine, at the end of the upstroke the piston is at its maximum height in a cylinder of exact dimensions. At this time, a precisely measured mixture of fuel and oxidant ignites to form gaseous products. If the ignition temperature is known, how could you calculate the pressure inside the cylinder just before the piston moves downward?
