The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas. If a gas has a volume of 180 cubic inches under a pressure of 14 pounds per square inch, what will be its volume if the pressure is increased to 19 pounds per square inch?

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply Boyle's Law that states that  pressure and volume for a fixed mass of an ideal gas are exhibit inverse proportionality.

-This law is expressed as:

where the a the gas' pressure and volume are varied to assess the change in the other variable.

-Volume 2 is therefore calculated as:

Hence,  the volume if the pressure is increased to 19 pounds per square inch is

a. the are of the rectangle is 18.25

b. 18.25 times two is 36.50
