Question

The temperature, T (in degrees Kelvin), of an enclosed gas varies

jointly with the product of the volume, V (in cubic centimeters), and
the pressure, P (in kilograms per square centimeter). The temperature
of a gas is 294 degrees K when the volume is 8000 cubic centimeters and the
pressure is 0.75 kilogram per square centimeter. What is the
temperature when the volume is 7000 cubic centimeters and the
pressure is 0.87 kilogram per square centimeter?

Answer 1

Answer: 298.41 K

Explanation:

given from the problem: T=VPC

where C is a constant

plug in knowns to get C

294= (8000)(0.75)C

C=0.049

T=VP(0.049)

T = (7000)(0.87)(0.049)

T = 298.41 K
