Question 350953: Gas laws. The volume of a 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?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Gas laws. The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to
the pressure on the gas.
--------------
V = k/P
---
Find "k" using the following:
If the volume is 6 cubic centimeters
when the pressure on the gas is 8 kilograms per square
centimeter,
6 = k/8
k = 48
--
Equation:
V = 48/P
-----
Solve for V:
then what is the volume when the pressure is
12 kilograms per square centimeter?
---
V = 48/12
V = 4 cm^3
