inflating tires on rv with nitrogen, good idea?
I'm interested in hearing comments on using nitrogen in tires on my rv, supposed to run cooler and maintain air pressure better. Any comments would be appreciated. Tom

In high school chemistry class, the teacher taught me an equation which went something like
Pressure * Volume = number of moles * a constant * Temperature (PV = NrT)
I'm not sure I recall the name of that equation, but I guess it was something like the Universal except-for-Nitrogen Gas Law.
The problem is you did not realize that we are using Al Gore Physics and the Al Gore gas law which trumps any other laws.
PV=nRT is known as the ideal gas law. It was first stated by Émile Clapeyron in 1834 as a combination of Boyle's law and Charles's law.
