Concept explainers
Gas law calculations Consider the Ideal Gas Law PV = kT, where k > 0 is a constant. Solve this equation for V in terms of P and T.
a. Determine the rate of change of the volume with respect to the pressure at constant temperature. Interpret the result.
b. Determine the rate of change of the volume with respect to the temperature at constant pressure. Interpret the result.
c. Assuming k = 1, draw several level curves of the volume function and interpret the results as in Example 6.
