If the temperature of an ideal gas is doubled while keeping the pressure constant, what happens to its volume?
Correct Answer: Volume doubles
- Step 1: Understand that we are dealing with an ideal gas.
- Step 2: Know that Charles's Law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.
- Step 3: Remember that 'directly proportional' means if one quantity increases, the other quantity increases by the same factor.
- Step 4: In this case, the temperature of the gas is doubled.
- Step 5: Since the temperature is doubled, according to Charles's Law, the volume must also double.
