Question 171497
Gas laws. The volume of 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?
-------------------------------
Form: V = kp
-------------
Find "k" for this situation:
6 = k8
k = 3/4
---------
Situation Equation: V = (3/4)p
So, if the pressure is 12 you can solve for V:
V = (3/4)12
V = 9 cubic cm
