Question

3. Identify the mathematical relationship that exists between pressure and volume, when temperature and quantity are held constant, as being directly proportional or inversely proportional. Explain your answer and write an equation that relates pressure and volume to a constant, using variables

Answer 1

P = cte / V

therefore pressure and volume are inversely proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise we can join the ideal gases equation

PV = n R T

they indicate that the amount of matter and the temperature are constant, therefore

PV = cte

P = cte / V

therefore pressure and volume are inversely proportional
