Question
Solve each problem.Expansion and Contraction of Gases $\quad$ In $1787,$ Jacques Charles noticed that gases expand when heated and contract when cooled. A particular gas follows the model2$y=\frac{5}{3} x+455$ where $x$ is the temperature in Celsius and $y$ is the volume in cubic centimeters.(a) What is the volume when the temperature is $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$(b) What is the temperature when the volume is 605 cubic centimeters?(c) Determine what temperature gives a volume of 0 cubic centimeters.
Step 1
(a) To find the volume when the temperature is $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, we substitute $x=27$ into the equation: \[y=\frac{5}{3} \times 27+455\] Solving this gives us $y=500$. So, the volume when the temperature is $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $\boxed{500 Show more…

Solve each problem. Volume of a Gas Natural gas provides $25 \%$ of U.S. energy. The volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure and directly with the temperature. (Temperature must be measured in degrees Kelvin (K), a unit of measurement used in physics.) If a certain gas occupies a volume of 1.3 liters at $300 \mathrm{K}$ and a pressure of 18 newtons per square centimeter, find the volume at $340 \mathrm{K}$ and a pressure of 24 newtons per square centimeter.
