The temperature T of a given mass of gas varies inversely with its volume V. The temperature of 90 cm3 of a certain gas is 30°C. What will be the temperature of the gas when it is compressed to a volume of 18 cm3?. (1 point)

There are numerous information's already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer can be easily deduced.
Since temperature is inversely proportional to volume, so
T = k/V
30 = k/90
k = 2700
When the volume of the gas is 18 cm^3, then
T = 2700/18
= 150 degree centigrade.
I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and the answer has come to your desired help.
