The volume V of a gas varies inversely as the pressure P on it. The volume of a gas in 240 cm^3 under a pressure of 23kg/cm^2. What will be its volume under a pressure of 30kg/cm^2?
-----------------
The simplest way to remember and calculate this is the fact that P*V is a constant, PV = k.
In this case 240*23 = k, and
V*30 = k also.
So, 240*23 = V*30
V = 240*23/30
V = 184 cc
