a tire with inner volume of 0.0250m^3 is filled with air at a gauge pressure of 36.0 psi. If the tire valve is opened to the atmosphere, what volume outside of the tire does the escaping air occupy? Some air remains within the tire occupying the original volume, but now the remaining air is at atmospheric press

    Answer: Escaped volume = 0.0612m^3

    Explanation:

    According to Boyle's law

    P1V1 = P2V2

    P1 = initial pressure in the tire = 36.0psi + 14.696psi = 50.696psi (guage + atmospheric pressure)

    P2 = atmospheric pressure = 14.696psi

    V1 = volume of tire = 0.025m^3

    V2 = escaped volume + V1 (since air still remain in the tire)

    V2 = P1V1/P2

    V2 = 50.696*0.025/14.696

    V2 = 0.0862m^3

    Escaped volume = 0.0862 - 0.025 = 0.0612m^3
