An automobile tire with a volume of 0.8 m3 is inflated to a gage pressure of 200 kpa. calculate the mass of air in the tire if the temperature is 23 °c.

2.83 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Volume, V = 0.8 m³

gage pressure, P = 200 kPa

Absolute pressure = gage pressure + Atmospheric pressure

= 200 + 101 = 301 kPa = 301 × 10³ N/m²

Temperature, T = 23° C = 23 + 273 = 296 K

Now,

From the ideal gas equation

PV = mRT

Where,

m is the mass

R is the ideal gas constant = 287 J/Kg K. (for air)

thus,

301 × 10³ × 0.8 = m × 287 × 296

or

m = 2.83 kg
