A gas-analysis instrument measures a sample by allowing the gas in its bellows chamber to expand while a pressure gauge records the pressure. A narrow channel between the chamber and the gauge contains 6.0 cm3 of gas. The chamber initially contains gas at 150 kPa and has a volume of 34 cm3. It is expanded until the pressure is 100 kPa. The gas mass and temperature remain constant.
Use p1V1=p2V2p_1V_1=p_2V_2p1V1=p2V2. What is the final volume of the chamber?
60 cm360\,\mathrm{cm^3}60cm3
