Question
Consider a sample of a gas in a cylinder with a movable piston.
Show diagrammatically the changes in the position of the piston, if the temperature is decreased from 300 K to 150 K at constant pressure.

Solution
At constant P, V ∝ T
Since the temperature becomes half, the volume will also become half.
