A truck's tires have the correct air pressure at room temperature about 20c explain why a tire is more likey to explode when the truck is driven in hot weather than in cold weather?

As a tire goes round and round heat builds up inside the heat expands the air inside the tire. On a normal day that he can dissipate but as the temperature on the outside increases is more difficult for the heat (energy) to leave the inside of the tire. As the temperature increases the pressure inside the tire also increases. It is that pressure that can cause the tire to explode.

Why aerosols should be kept at room temperature?
Because if it is significantly over or under room temp. it will explode
Did chernobyl explode like a bomb?
It did explode, but this was due to a surge in steam pressure which blew off the top of the reactor, it was not a nuclear explosion as in a nuclear weapon.
Why do acorns explode when heated up?
The moisture in the acorn is also heated and that moisture begins to boil. Eventually contained in the shell of the nut the pressure builds until the nut shell can no longer contain it. This causes the nut to explode. Most people do not appreciate the explosive power of water. If you think of it why does a volcano explode? Some volcanoes explode with some of the most intense explosions on earth. These are all triggered by water in the volcano heating to incredible pressures. If you have ever seen a "pressure cooker" explode in a kitchen there the extra pressure is around 14 lbs/sq inch. The pressures in a volcano can be thousands of pounds per square inch.
What is 15 pounds pressure in autoclave?
Steam autoclave's work at 30 to 35 PSI, the previous answer of 15 PSI is for a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker cannot be used as an autoclave, the temperature is not high enough to cause sterilization. Anything less than 121C / 250F (30 PSI) is incapable of killing microorganisms. Also the pressure vesal of a pressure cooker cannot handle the added pressure needed to sterilize, IE: adding weight to the release valve will just cause the cooker to explode (so don't try it).
Is it possible to have an explosion without oxygen?
Sure, e.g., liquid nitrogen will explode at room temperature if kept confined in a container such as a capped bottle.
Would a kernel explode if it were broken open at room temperature?
No, the popcorn will not explode at room temperature. This is because the pressure at room temperature is not high enough to pop the popcorn.
What pressure will make a bag explode?
This depends on the type of bag, temperature etc.
What would result from increasing the temperature of a gas in a container that cannot expand would it explode or stay solitary?
Either the container would explode or the pressure would just keep increasing until the temperature stopped increasing
Why aerosols should be kept at room temperature?
Because if it is significantly over or under room temp. it will explode
How do you spell explode?
That is the correct spelling of the word "explode".
Can potatoes explode if they have lots of air pressure?
If Ben Jones wants them to explode, they will explode.
Why might a bottle of hair spray explode if left in a hot car all day?
Increasing the temperature the pressure of the gas increase also.
Can a can of soda explode?
if you freeze the can all the pressure will build up and explode
Can outdoor Christmas lights explode due to atmospheric pressure?
Atmospheric pressure will typically not cause outdoor Christmas lights to explode. Atmospheric pressure in most areas is typically not high enough to cause such lights to explode.
Can you place dry ice into a pressure cooker without it exploding?
When the dry ice is placed on the cooker it will explode, unless the temperature of the cooker is at a low degree.
What is true low pressure with a tornado causes building to explode?
No, low pressure in a tornado does not cause buildings to explode. That is a common myth.
Can your can explode?
At high temperature it is possible.
