Question 1182906: The volume of a given weight of gas varies directly as the absolute temperature T and inversely as the pressure P. If the volume is 5.72 m^3 when P is 237 kPa and T is 304 K, find the volume when P is 324 kPa and T is 347 K. Answer by greenestamps(13195) (Show Source):
The volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. When the absolute temperature is changed from 304 K to 347 K, the volume changes by a factor of 347/304.
The volume is inversely proportional to the pressure. When the pressure is changed from 237 kPa to 324 kPa, the volume changes by a factor of 237/324.
