If the temperature of an ideal gas is doubled at constant volume, what happens to the pressure?
Correct Answer: Pressure doubles
- Step 1: Understand that we are dealing with an ideal gas.
- Step 2: Know that Gay-Lussac's law states that pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volume.
- Step 3: Remember that 'doubling the temperature' means we multiply the original temperature by 2.
- Step 4: Since pressure is directly proportional to temperature, if the temperature is doubled, the pressure will also double.
- Step 5: Conclude that if the temperature of the gas is doubled, the pressure will also increase to twice its original value.
