Question 867679: Boyle's Law states that, if the temperature of a confined gas does not change, then it's volume varies inversely with the pressure.
a) Write the particular equation that connects the volume and pressure of a gas if the volume of the gas under 100 kPa of pressure is 200mL?
b) what is the volume of this gas when the pressure is 120 kPa and the temperature remains the same?
c) what pressure would be necessary at the same temperature to compress the gas to 150 mL?
d) graph the function.

let V be volume, P be pressure an k be the constant of proportionality
V = k / P, then we have
a) 100 = k / 200
k = 20000
V = 20000 / P
b) V = 20000 / 120 = 166.67
c) 150 = 20000 / P
P = 20000 / 150 = 133.33
d) graph of equation is
