Question 906412
A pressure of a gas container varies directly with its temperature and inversely with its volume.
p = k*t/v
------
Solve for "k" using "At a temperature of 70 Kelvin and a volume of 15 cubic meters, the pressure is 19.6 newtons per square meter."
19.6 = k*70/15
70k = 294
k = 4.2
-----
Equation:
p = 4.2*t/v
What is the pressure if the temperature is increased to 80 Kelvin and the volume is decreased to 12 cubic meters?
p = 4.2*80/12
p = 21 newtons per sq meter
