Page 612 - The volume of a gas varies inversely as the pressure when the temperature is constant. When the pressure is 15, the volume is 20; what is the volume when the pressure is 20 ? Let v stand for the volume and p for the pressure. Then from pv = k we obtain k = 300. Therefore pv = 300. Consequently, when p = 20, 20 v = 300 ; whence v = 15. EXERCISES III.
