6. the pressure p (measured in kilopascals, kpa) for a particular sample of
gas is directly proportional to the temperature t (measured in kelvin, k)
and inversely proportional to the volume v measured in litres, l). with
k representing the constant of proportionality, this relationship can be
written in the form of the equation p = k t
(a) find the constant of proportionality, k, if 150 l of gas exerts a
pressure of 23.5 kpa at a temperature of 375 k.
(b) using the value of k from part (a) and assuming that the
temperature is held constant at 375 k, write the volume v as a
function of pressure p for this sample of gas.
