document.write( "Question 171497: Gas laws. The volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure on the gas. If the volume is 6 cubic centimeters when the pressure on the gas is 8 kilograms per square centimeter, then what is the volume when the pressure is 12 kilograms per square centimeter? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
inverse proportions take on the form ab=k.......so we have v/p=k....

\n" ); document.write( "remember when variables are inversely related if one increases the other decreases .that is one way of checking to see if your answer is reasonable.
\n" ); document.write( "In our case the pressure is increase therefore the volume must decrease.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "6(8)=48........so then v(12)=48
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "volume of the gas\"highlight%28v=4%29\"cubic centimeters
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
