Answer

The volume is increasing at a rate of $~~35.7~cm^3/min$

Work Step by Step

$PV^{1.4} = C$ $V^{1.4}~\frac{dP}{dt}+1.4~V^{0.4}~P~\frac{dV}{dt} = 0$ $1.4~V^{0.4}~P~\frac{dV}{dt} = -V^{1.4}~\frac{dP}{dt}$ $\frac{dV}{dt} = -\frac{V}{1.4~P}~\frac{dP}{dt}$ $\frac{dV}{dt} = -\frac{400~cm^3}{(1.4)(80~kPa)}~(-10~kPa/min)$ $\frac{dV}{dt} = 35.7~cm^3/min$ The volume is increasing at a rate of $~~35.7~cm^3/min$
