A tire at 21ÁC has a pressure of 0.82 atm. Its temperature decreases to _3.5ÁC. If there is no volume change in the tire, what is the pressure after the temperature change?

Volumen = constant => P/T = constant

T1 = 21°C + 273.15 = 294.15 k
P1 = 0.82 atm

T2 = - 3.5°C + 273.15 = 269.65 k
P2 = ?

P2 / 269.65k = 0.82atm / 294.15k

P2 = [0.82atm / 294.15k] * 269.65kg = 0.75 atm
