4. The volume of gas varies directly as the temperature and inversely as the
pressure. If the volume is 250 cubic centimeters when the temperature is 3300K
and the pressure is 25 pounds per square centimeter, what is the volume when
the temperature is 230 K and the pressure is 20 pounds per square centimeter?​


Sagot :

Given:

[tex]V_{1} = \text{250 cm³}[/tex]

[tex]T_{1} = \text{3300 K}[/tex]

[tex]P_{1} = \text{25 lb/cm²}[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} = \text{20 lb/cm²}[/tex]

[tex]T_{2} = \text{230 K}[/tex]

Unknown:

[tex]V_{2}[/tex]

Solution:

[tex]\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}[/tex]

[tex]V_{2} = V_{1} × \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}} × \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}[/tex]

[tex]V_{2} = \text{250 cm³} × \frac{\text{25 lb/cm²}}{\text{20 lb/cm²}} × \frac{\text{230 K}}{\text{3300 K}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{V_{2} = \text{21.8 cm³}}[/tex]
