Question

If the absolute temperature of a given amount of gas is doubled at constant pressure, the new volume will beSelect one:a.unchangedb.three times as greatc.twice as greatd.half as great

Answer 1

c. twice as great

Step-by-step explanation

According to Amonton's Law, which states that the pressure of an ideal gas varies directly with the absolute temperature when the volume of the sample is held constant.

Therefore, doubling the absolute temperature of a given amount of gas also doubles its volume, if the pressure is constant, and vice versa.

So the correct answer is option c. twice as great.
