    Need Help with Neon Gas Volume and Temperature Problems?

    I'm in college. I have never had a decent math teacher in my life. I have no idea how to do this at all. My physics professor didn't even go over the gas laws, he just came in expecting us to know how to do this. 3 times its reciprocal equals one...so 1/3? 1*1=3*1/3

    Need Help with Neon Gas Volume and Temperature Problems?

    i don't know how to even begin to show my work. you said v1*p1=v2*p2 if v2 is triple of v1, then p2 is triple of p1...so, I'm going to make a wild guess here... v1*p1=3*3 I put 3 times 3, because it's tripled on each one. If this isn't correct, then I have no idea what to do. LOL

    so boyle's law has that equation you had...the v1*p1=v2*p2, and if you triple v2, then it would triple the intial pressure. is that right?

    oops...sorry... p2/p1=v1/v2 is that right?

    it was p1/p2=(t2/t1)(v1/v2). you told me that if a property doesn't change, it equals one and drops out of the equation, so that would leave me p1/p2=v1/v2, correct?

    Need Help with Neon Gas Volume and Temperature Problems?

    okay, so using that formula, how would I go about solving it? p1/p2=(t2/t1)(v1/v2) I'm solving for p1/p2...so my t2/t1 would be ?? I don't have a temp... and volume is tripled but I don't have an intial volume... I figured that if v2 is tripled, then p2 would be tripled as well, I...

    if v2 triples, then wouldn't the p2 triple as well?

    Need Help with Neon Gas Volume and Temperature Problems?

    well the 1st law is finding heat, so I don't need that one. the second law is inability for heat to flow from cold to hot body, and the third law of thermodynamics says that it is impossible to get a temp of absolute zero, but i don't know what my temp is. I don't know which one is applicable...

    Need Help with Neon Gas Volume and Temperature Problems?

    Well, let's start with this one...A sample of neon gas has its volume tripled and its temperature held constant. What will be the new pressure relative to the initial pressure? I don't even know where to begin because I don't have the amount of neon gas, the original temp or volume, so I...
