Algebra.Com's Answer #250842 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Gas laws. The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to \n" ); document.write( "the pressure on the gas. \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "V = k/P \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Find \"k\" using the following: \n" ); document.write( "If the volume is 6 cubic centimeters \n" ); document.write( "when the pressure on the gas is 8 kilograms per square \n" ); document.write( "centimeter, \n" ); document.write( "6 = k/8 \n" ); document.write( "k = 48 \n" ); document.write( "-- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "V = 48/P \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Solve for V: \n" ); document.write( " then what is the volume when the pressure is \n" ); document.write( "12 kilograms per square centimeter? \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "V = 48/12 \n" ); document.write( "V = 4 cm^3 \n" ); document.write( "================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "================= \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
