In a closed system, if the temperature of an ideal gas is doubled while the volume remains constant, what happens to the pressure?
Correct Answer: Pressure doubles
- Step 1: Understand that we have a closed system with an ideal gas.
- Step 2: Know that the volume of the gas is constant, meaning it does not change.
- Step 3: Remember Gay-Lussac's law, which states that pressure is directly proportional to temperature when volume is constant.
- Step 4: If the temperature of the gas is doubled, this means it increases to twice its original value.
- Step 5: Since pressure is directly proportional to temperature, if the temperature doubles, the pressure must also double.
