Answer:

New volume = 19.61 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 18.2 L

Initial temperature, T₁ = 22°C = 295 K

Final temperature, T₂ = 45°C = 318 K

We neeed to find the new volume of the tire. The relation between volume and temperature is given by :


V\propto T\\\\(V_1)/(V_2)=(T_1)/(T_2)\\\\V_2=(V_1T_2)/(T_1)\\\\V_2=(18.2* 318)/(295)\\\\V_2=19.61\ L

So, the new volume of the tire is equal to 19.61 L.
