Some tire stores claim that filling your car tires with pure, dry nitrogen is much better than using plain air. They make the following claims 1. The pressure inside N₂-filled tires does not rise or fall with temperature changes. 2. Nitrogen leaks out of tires much more slowly than air because the N₂ molecules are bigger 3. Nitrogen is not very reactive, and moisture and O₂ in air cause corrosion that shortens tire life by 25-30% Evaluate the claim as a whole.

True/False 1. ____ Metals have long and thin bubbles in Strength-Modulus Chart because the processes used to manipulate their properties have almost no effect on the modulus but have a dramatic effect on strength. 2. ____ Cross-linking, blending and filling of polymers with particulates or fibers do not change their modulus or strength. 3. ____ The strength of ceramics depends on porosity, generally the higher the porosity, the higher the strength. 4. ____ Three basic ways to manipulate the mechanical properties of metals are: solution hardening, precipitation hardening, and work hardening. 5. ____ Foaming reduces density of metals, ceramics, and polymers but does not affect modulus.
