A nearly flat tire becomes noticeable warmer after it has been pumped up. Approximate this process as a reversible adiabatic compression of an ideal gas. Assume the initial pressure and temperature of the air before it is put in the tire to be pi= 1 atm and Ti= 25ºC and that CV,m= 3R/2. The final volume of the air in the tire is Vf= 2.00 L and the final pressure pf= 90 psi.
Calculate the final temperature of the air in the tire (1 psi = 0.068046 atm, psi = pound per square inch).
Also, calculate ∆U and ∆S during this process.
