Question

gas constant temperature has volume of 76in3 when the pressure is 16 pounds per square inch what will the volume be when the pressure is 64 pounds per square inch

Answer 1

If:

76 in³ --------------------------->16 lb

V ----------------------------------->64 lb

76/V = 16/64

Solving for V:

Multiply both sides by V:

76 = 16V/64

Multiply both sides by 64:

4864 = 16V

Divide both sides by 16:

304 = V

V = 304 in³
