Question

My car has an internal volume of 3,600 L. If the sun heats my car from a temperature of 18.0 degrees Celsius to a temperature of 45.0 degrees Celsius, what will the pressure inside my car be? Assume the pressure a was initially 101.3 kPa.

Answer 1

110.7 kpa or 1.097 atm your choice of pressure units

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume the Volume is constant since we are not told other wise and it is indeed a car. We can Use P1/T1= P2/T2

So (T2xP1 )/ T1 = P2

(318Kx101.3kpa)/291k = 110.7 kpa or 1.097 atm your choice of pressure units

if your wondering why i used Kelvin gas laws are always in units of Kelvin
