Problem 13: A bicycle tire has a pressure of 6.8 × 105 Pa at a temperature of 15°C and contains 2.00 L of gas.
What will its pressure be, in pascals, if you let out an amount of air that has a volume of 115 cm3 at atmospheric pressure and at the temperature of the tire? Assume tire temperature and volume remain constant.
A household hot-water system has an expansion tank in the attic, 12 meters above the boiler. If the tank is open to the atmosphere what is the gauge pressure and absolute pressure in the boiler?
Hint: The gauge pressure in the formula to be used is P - Patm and the absolute pressure is P. For example if the gauge pressure of a tire is zero the tire is flat. A pressure called 1 atmosphere = 1.013×10⁵ Pa
