Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In an ideal gas, if the temperature is doubled while keeping the volume constant, what happens to the pressure?
  • Step 1: Understand that we are dealing with an ideal gas.
  • Step 2: Know that Gay-Lussac's law states that pressure and temperature are directly related when volume is constant.
  • Step 3: Identify that 'doubling the temperature' means we are increasing the temperature to twice its original value.
  • Step 4: Since the volume is constant, according to Gay-Lussac's law, if the temperature increases, the pressure must also increase.
  • Step 5: Conclude that if the temperature is doubled, the pressure will also double.
