Engineering Find the volume of a gas using Boyle's law

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around using Boyle's Law to calculate the volume of a gas given a pressure of 10 kPa and a constant of 0.6 at 37 degrees Celsius. The formula pV = Constant is applied, leading to the rearrangement C/p = V. The calculation shows that V equals 0.06. There is confusion regarding the temperature's relevance in the calculation. The final volume derived from the given parameters is 0.06.

Homework Statement
Find volume
Relevant Equations
PV = C
Is this right
go confused with the 37 degrees

Q)
pV = Constant
pressure of a gas is ‘10’ (kPa) and the constant ‘37 degrees celcus’ = ‘0.6’, calculate the volume that the gas.

pV = C
C/p = V
0.6/10 = C
V = 0.06
