Question

The pressure of a gas p(v) varies inversely with the volume of the gas v. The pressure of a gas measures 15 kg/cm2 when its volume is 300 cm3 . Which equation can be used to find the pressure of the gas when the volume is changed

Answer 1

P V = N R T is the universal gas equation

If only pressure and volume are considered (the other factors are constant)

P1 V1 = P2 V2

So P2 = (V1 / V2) * P1

This is also known as Boyle's Law:

P V = constant
