Sixteen liters of an ideal gas at a temperature of 500 kelvins has a pressure of 100 newtons per square meter.
---
Volume = k[t/p]
---
Find "k":
16 = k[500/100]
---
k = 16/5
----
Equation:
V = (16/5)[t/p]
---
If the volume were increased to 20 liters and the temperature reduced to 400 kelvins, what would be the pressure?
20 = (16/5)[400/p]
pressure = (16/5)[500/20]
---
Pressure = 16 neutons per sq. meter
