car tire contains 0.0350 m3 of air at a pressure of 2.10 ✕ 105 N/m2 (about 31 psi). How much more internal energy (in J) does this gas have than the same volume has at zero gauge pressure (which is equivalent to normal atmospheric pressure)? (Assume the tire pressure of 2.10 ✕ 105 N/m2 is absolute pressure, not gauge pressure. Assume for this question that air is monatomic.)

Question
A car tire contains 0.0350 m3 of air at a pressure of 2.10 ✕ 105 N/m2 (about 31 psi). How much more internal energy (in J) does this gas have than the same volume has at zero gauge pressure (which is equivalent to normal atmospheric pressure)? (Assume the tire pressure of 2.10 ✕ 105 N/m2 is absolute pressure, not gauge pressure. Assume for this question that air is monatomic.)
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given

Volume of gas V = 0.035 m3

Pressure P = 2.1 × 105 Pa

Internal energy of one mol monoatomic gas

= (3/2)RT
