A trucker is driving from New Jersey to California to make a delivery of couches. He forgets to adjust the pressure of his tires before his trip and end up blowing out two of his tires while driving through Arizona. Whose law does this example depict? What does this law state? Use the law to explain what happened to the tires.

Gay-Lussac's law.

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac's pressure law, it states that the pressure of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas, the assumption that the volume is kept constant.

Hence, the trucker's tires were blown up because they were under high pressure as he drove from New Jersey to California, as a result of this intense pressure the temperature of the air in the tires began to rise and it directly affected the pressure of the gas in the tires' tubes which also increased to a point that they ended up blowing out, obeying Gay-Lussac's law.

h let me think

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
