The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely as the pressure on the gas. If a gas has a volume of 356 cubic inches under a pressure of 6 pounds per square inch, what will be its volume if the pressure is increased to 7 pounds per square inch? Round your answer to the nearest integer if necessary.

Answer:

[tex]V_2=305.14\ \text{inch}^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely as the pressure on the gas.

[tex]V\propto \dfrac{1}{P}\\\\V_1P_1=V_2P_2[/tex]

If V₁ = 356 inch³, P₁ = 6 pounds/in², P₂ = 7 pounds/in², V₂ = ?

So, using the above relation.

So,

[tex]V_2=\dfrac{V_1P_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{356\times 6}{7}\\\\V_2=305.14\ \text{inch}^3[/tex]

So, the new volume is [tex]305.14\ \text{inch}^3[/tex].
