Question 1197039


Boyle's law states that for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, the absolute pressure and the volume of a gas are inversely proportional.

{{{p[1]*v[1]=p[2]*v[2]}}}

given:

{{{p[1]= (13lb)/ft^2}}}

{{{v[1]=12ft^3 }}}

{{{p[2]=(4lb)/ft^2}}}

then

 {{{(13lb)/ft^2*12ft^3 =(4lb)/ft^2*v[2]}}}

{{{156lb8ft  =(4lb)/ft^2*v[2]}}}

{{{v[2]=(156lb8ft) /((4lb)/ft^2)}}}


{{{v[2]=312ft^3}}}


answer: {{{v=312ft^3}}}
