The volume v of gas varies inversely as the pressure p on it. The volume of a gas is 240cm^3 under a pressure of 23 kg/cm^2 What will be its volume under pressure of 30 kg/cm^2?
--------------
PV = k
23*240 = k = 5520
-----------------
At 30 kg/cm^2:
30V = 5520
V = 184 cc
----------
It's actually PV = nRT, but k works for this problem.
