According to Boyle's Law, the pressure P (in kilopascals) exerted by a gas varies inversely as the volume V (in cubic decimeters) of a gas if the temperature remains constant. That is, PV = c. Suppose the constant for oxygen at 25o is 505. Graph the function PV = c for c = 505. a) In which two quadrants does your graph lie? b) Determine the volume of oxygen if the pressure is 101 kilopascals. c) Determine the volume of oxygen if the pressure is 50.5 kilopascals d) Study your results for parts b and c. If the pressure is halved, make a conjecture about the effect on the volume of gas.
