The tires of a car were inflated to 30 psi at 22o C. When driving at high speeds, the tires become hot. If the tires have a bursting pressure of 44 psi, at what temperature will they blow out? Assume the volume of the tire remains constant.
As we know from Gay Lussac's Law that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature at constant volume.
Here
Now apply the Gay Lussac's Law
Hence it needs 429.73 Kelvin.
