Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

For a gas at constant pressure, if the volume is doubled, what happens to the temperature?
  • Step 1: Understand that we are dealing with a gas at constant pressure.
  • Step 2: Recall Charles's law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is constant.
  • Step 3: If the volume of the gas is doubled, this means the new volume is twice the original volume.
  • Step 4: Since the volume is doubled and the pressure remains constant, according to Charles's law, the temperature must also double.
  • Step 5: Therefore, if the volume is doubled, the temperature also doubles.
  • Charles's Law – Charles's Law states that for a given mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.
