Thanks for the reply! I would assume since the gas is at lower pressure when it is 298k that it is before it is pumped. Does this mean I can use the equations above? Also, does the gas have to be pumped to fill the tire if it is a reversible process Pinternal=Pexternal? I was thinking in...

Homework Statement A nearly flat bicycle tire becomes noticeably warmer after it has been pumped up. Approximate this process as a reversible adiabatic compression. Take the initial P and T of the air (before it is put into the tire) to be 1.00 bar and 298.0K. The final volume of air (after it...
