Question
Pressure The volume $V$ of a gasheld at a constant temperature in a closed container varies inversely with its pressure $P .$ If the volume of a gas is 600 cubic centimeters $\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$ when the pressure is 150 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), find the volume when the pressure is $200 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$.
Step 1
This can be represented by the equation $V = \frac{k}{P}$, where $V$ is the volume, $P$ is the pressure, and $k$ is the constant of proportionality. Show more…

The volume of a gas $V$ held at a constant temperature in a closed container varies inversely with its pressure $P .$ If the volume of a gas is 600 cubic centimeters $\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$ when the pressure is 150 millimeters of mercury $(\mathrm{mm}$ Hg), find the volume when the pressure is $200 \mathrm{mm}$ Hg.
The volume $V$ of a given mass of a gas varies directly as the temperature $T$ and inversely as the pressure $P .$ If $V=231 \mathrm{cm}^{3}$ when $T=300^{\circ} \mathrm{K}$ (Kelvin) and $P=20 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{cm}^{2},$ what is the volume when $T=320^{\circ} \mathrm{K}$ and $P=16 \mathrm{Ib} / \mathrm{cm}^{2} ?$
