document.write( "If the pressure of a gas is constant, then the volume of an enclosed gas varies directly as the absolute temperature. Given that a 3.46 liter sample of neon gas has a pressure of 0.926 atmoshperes at temperature 301 degrees K, use a power formula to calculate the volume of this sample at 338 degrees K assuming the pressure does not change. You do not need to use the pressure as part of your formula. <BR>\n" );
