Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume V satisfy the equation PV = C, where C is a constant. Suppose that at a certain instant the volume is 300 cm3, the pressure is 180 kPa, and the pressure is increasing at a rate of 30 kPa/min. At what rate is the volume decreasing at this instant?

The gas is decreasing at a rate of 50 cubic centimeters per minute.

Explanation:

The Boyle's Law is represented by the following expression:

(1)

Where:

- Pressure, in kilopascals.

- Volume, in cubic centimeters.

- Proportionality constant, in kilopascal-cubic centimeters.

By definitions of rate of change and implicit differentiation, we derive the following differential equation:

(2)

Where:

- Rate of change of the pressure, in kilopascals per minute.

- Rate of change of the volume, in cubic centimeters per minute.

Then, we clear the rate of change of the volume within (2):

If we know that , and , then the rate of change of the volume is:

The gas is decreasing at a rate of 50 cubic centimeters per minute.

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
