Homework Statement
According to the ideal gas law, the pressure, temperature, and volume of a gas are related by PV=kT, where k is a constant. Find the rate of change of pressure (pounds per square inch) with respect to temperature when the temperature is 300[tex]^{o}[/tex]K if the volume is kept fixed at 100 cubic inches.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
PV=kT
P=V-1kT
P=100-1kT
[tex]\frac{dP}{dT}[/tex]=100-1k
I don't know how to figure this out. We were given the answer, -.01 psi/[tex]^{o}[/tex]K but I don't know how to get to this with the k there.
