An automobile tire has a maximum rating of
38.0 psipsi (gauge pressure).
(Note that the gauge pressure is
the difference between the total pressure and
atmospheric pressure. In this case, assume that atmospheric
pressure is 14.7 psipsi.)
The tire is inflated (while cold) to a volume of
11.7 L and a gauge pressure of 36.0 psi at a
temperature of 14.0 ∘C∘C. When the car is driven on a hot day,
the tire warms to 65.0 ∘C and its volume expands to
12.1 L.
What is the total pressure (gauge pressure + atmospheric
pressure) in the tire after warming on a hot day?
Express your answer in atmospheres to three significant
figures.
