Air is pumped into a bicycle tire. The 41 moles of air initially in the tire have a gauge pressure of 1 atm. How many moles of air must be pumped into the tire in order to raise the gauge pressure to 5 atm? Assume that the volume and temperature of the air inside the tire are approximately constant.

Ive tried both 205 moles and 164 moles and both come up as incorrect. Not sure why.

A bicycle tire is pumped up with air. The air starts out at atmospheric pressure, and a temperature of 285 K. It is compressed into the tire so that inside the tire, the same amount of air occupies 21% of the volume it occupies outside the tire. The air inside the tire heats up tp 298 K during the process. A) what is the pressure of the air inside the tire? B) assume the air is entirely nitrogen (N2), and...

A tank containing compressed air is initially at 34.8 atmospheres. After some air is removed from the tank, the pressure has decreased to 4.9 atm. What fraction of the original air remains in the tank? Pressures are gauge pressures. The volume of the tank is constant; assume the temperature stays constant also.

Air (a diatomic ideal gas) at 26.5°C and atmospheric pressure is drawn into a bicycle pump (see figure below) that has a cylinder with an inner diameter of 2.50 cm and length 47.0 cm. The downstroke adiabatically compresses the air, which reaches a gauge pressure of 8.00 105 Pa before entering the tire. We wish to investigate the temperature increase of the pump. The pump is made of steel that is 1.80 mm thick. Assume 4.00 cm of the cylinder's...
