A student is investigating how the pressure exerted by a gas varied with the volume of the gas. The initial pressure was 1.6x10^5 Pa, with the volume being 9.0cm^3. Calculate the volume of the gas when the pressure was 1.8x10^5 Pa

pxV=constant
(1.6x10^5) x (9.0) = (1.44 x 10^6)
p= (1.44 x 10^6)/(1.8 x 10^5) = 8 cm^3
