The volume, v of gas varies inversely with the pressure, p on it. if the volume is 320 cm3 under pressure of 40 kg/cm2, what pressure has to be applied to have a volume of 200 cm3?

Assuming that the gas behaves ideally.

Given the initial volume and pressure:

V1 = 320 cm3
P1 = 40 kg/cm2

and given the final volume:

V2 = 200 cm3

find the final pressure, P2:

PV = nRT; assume temperature and number of moles are constant

PV = constant

P1V1 = P2V2

Solve for P2:

(320 cm3) (40 kg/cm2) = (200 cm3) (P2)

P2 = 64 kg/cm2

What’s the equation you are trying to solve to get x?

Answerthe simplified expression isexplanationthe given expression is,let us deal with the bracket first.the two negatives in the parenthesis will become positive.the expression now becomes,we now expand the parenthesis to get,we group like terms to obtain,this simplifies to,
