The volume of a gas varies directly as its temperature and inversely as its
pressure. Alison is working with a gas in a laboratory at Lynchburg College. At a temperature of 375
Kelvin and a pressure of 25 pascals, she measured the volume of this gas as 30 cubic centimeters.
What volume should she expect if she decreases the temperature to 320 Kelvin and increases the
pressure to 40 pascals?
a. | 4 cm3 | c. | 16 cm3 | b. | 8 cm3 | d. | 46.875
