Question 36428: The value of gas varies inversely as the pressure and directly as the temperature(in degree kelvin). If a certain gas occupies a volume of 2.2 ltrs at a temp of 300k and a pressure of 24 newtons per sq centimeter, find the volume when the temp is 330 k and the pressure is 12 newtons per sq centimeters.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First find the constant of proportionality, k.
V+=+kT%2FP Substitute V = 2.2 Litres, T = 300 K, and P = 24 Newtons/sq.cm and solve for k.
2.2+=+300k%2F24
k+=+2.2%2824%29%2F300
k+=+0.176
The formula is:
V+=+0.176T%2FP Substitute T = 330 K and P = 12 newtons/sq.cm. and solve for V.
V+=+0.176%28330%29%2F12
V+=+4.84Litres.
