Answer:
dV/dt = 100 cm³/min
Explanation:
Given
V = 728 cm³
P = 182 kPa
dP/dt = - 25 kPa/min
dV/dt = ?
If we apply the ideal gas equation
P*V = n*R*T
where n*R*T is constant
we have
d(P*V)/dt = d(n*R*T)/dt
⇒ d(P*V)/dt = 0
⇒ V*(dP/dt) + P*(dV/dt) = 0
⇒ dV/dt = - (V/P)*(dP/dt)
Plugging the known values we obtain
⇒ dV/dt = - (728 cm³/182 kPa)*(- 25 kPa/min)
⇒ dV/dt = 100 cm³/min
