Question

If a gas has a volume of 232 cubic inches under a pressure of 4 pounds per square inch, what will be its volume if the pressure is increased to 6 pounds per squAre inch. (Round to the nearest integer)

Answer 1

Assuming a constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume remains constant:

p₁*V₁=p_2*V₂

Now insert the given values:

4 * 232 = 6 * V₂

All you need to do is solve for V₂ and round the result.
