Inflating a tire with air is a physical change because it is not changing the tire chemically. It is only changing the physical appearance of the tire.

Is a tire inflated with air a physical or chemical change?

physical change. the rubber is still rubber and the air is still air, so NO chemical change has occured


Is a tire losing air a chemical reaction?

No, a tire losing air is a physical phenomenon caused by air molecules escaping through tiny holes or leaks in the tire. This is not a chemical reaction because it does not involve a change in the chemical composition of the tire or the air.

Is a inflation of a car tire a chemical change?

No. Nothing changes in its chemical nature.


Is inflating a bike tire a chemical change?

No, inflating a bike tire is a physical change because it does not change the chemical composition of the tire or the air being pumped into it. When air is added to the tire, it simply increases in volume and pressure without altering its chemical properties.


Does a car tire weigh more with air or the same when its flat and tire is on a rim?

The chemical signature for air is H20, or 2 parts Hydrogen and 1 part Oxygen. As each of these elements has mass, even in a gaseous state, the short answer is that air weighs 0.070 lbs oer cubic foot. So at one atmosphere of 14.7 PSI (that is the pressure of the air around us) when the tire is flat, if you knew the volume of the tire, you could compute the weight of the air in the tire. Now, if the tire were inflated to 26 PSI, it would be at 1.77 atmosphere, so the weight of the air in the tire when inflated would more than when it is flat. No, H2O is the chemical signature for WATER. Otherwise the answer would be correct.


Can cold air deflate a tire?

yes, but it is dependent on how hot the air was when the tier was first inflated.


What is heavier an inflated tyre or a flat tyre?

Depends on how you look at it. Tire + lots of pressurized air inside will weigh a tad more than tire with only a little air inside. But the actual tire casing will weigh the same whether it's inflated or not.


What type of measurement is this air pressure in a tire?

Air pressure is a measure of how much air is in a tire, or how much it is inflated. Air pressures are written on apanel on driver door frame and on tire sidewall. they are very important to tire wear.


How does a bike pump work?

A bike pump works by using a handle to push air into the tire through a valve. When the handle is pushed down, it compresses the air and forces it into the tire, inflating it. The valve on the tire allows air in but not out, so the tire stays inflated.
