Car tire dilemma Imagine a car tire that contains 5.1 moles of air when at a gauge pressure of 2.1 X 105 N/m2 (the pressure above atmospheric pressure) and a temperature of 27 °C. The temperature increases to 37 °C, the volume decreases to 0.8 times the original volume, and the gauge pressure decreases to 1.6 X 105 N/m2. Can these measurements be correct if the tire did not leak? If it did leak, then how many moles of air are left in the tire?
