Question 1128030: The pressure of a sample of gas is directly proportional to the temperature and inversely proportional to the volume.
(a) Write an equation that expresses this fact if 50 L of gas exerts a pressure of 14 kPa at a temperature of 350deg K (absolute temperature measured on the Kelvin scale).
(b) If the temperature is increased to 400deg K and the volume is decreased to 40 L, what is the pressure of the gas?
