    Air is pumped into an automobile tube upto a pressure of \[200\,\,kPa\] in the morning when the air temperature is\[{{22}^{o}}C\]. During the day, temperature rises to \[{{42}^{o}}C\] and the tube expands by\[2%\]. The pressure of the air in the tube  at  this  temperature,  will  be approximately

    A) \[212\,\,kPa\]                   

    B) \[209\,\,kPa\]

    C) \[206\,\,kPa\]                   

    D)  \[200\,\,kPa\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The ideal gas law is the equation of state of an ideal gas. The state of an amount of gas is determined , by/'its . pressure, volume and temperature . The equation has the form                 \[pV=nRT\] where, \[p\] is pressure, \[V\] the volume, \[n\] the number of moles, R the gas constant and T the temperature. \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{p}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=\frac{{{p}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}{{{T}_{2}}}\] Given\[,\]           \[{{p}_{1}}=200\,\,kPa,\,\,{{V}_{1}}=V\],                 \[{{T}_{1}}=273+22=295\,\,K\],              \[{{V}_{2}}=V+0.02\,\,V,\,\,{{T}_{2}}=273+42=315\,\,K\]                 \[\frac{200\times V}{295}=\frac{{{p}_{2}}\times 1.02\,\,V}{315}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{P}_{2}}=\frac{200\times 315}{295\times 1.02}\]                 \[{{P}_{2}}\approx 209\,\,kPa\]
