A gas occupies a volume of 20 cubic meters at 9,000 pascals. If the pressure is lowered to 5,000 pascals, what volume will the gas occupy?

We need to consider no change in the temperature of gas (isothermal transformation)

Volume and pressure are inversely proportional magnitudes, so we can write:

[tex]P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2\\ \\ 9.20=5.V_2\\ \\ V_2=\frac{180}{5}=36 \ m^3[/tex]
