Boyle's Law says that the volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure. When the volume of a certain gas is 7L, the pressure is 410 kPa (kilopascals). What is the volume when the pressure is 287 kPa?
[tex]\bf \textit{"volume of a gas varies inversely with the pressure"}\quad v=\cfrac{k}{p}
\\\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
v=7\\
p=410
\end{cases}\implies 7=\cfrac{k}{210}\implies 1470=k
\\\\\\
thus\qquad \qquad \boxed{v=\cfrac{1470}{p}}
\\\\\\
\textit{when p=287, what is \underline{v}?}\qquad v=\cfrac{410}{287}[/tex]
