Both the pressure and volume of a given sample of an ideal gas double. This means that its temperature in Kelvins must
A) double.
B) remain unchanged.
C) reduce to one-half its original value.
D) reduce to one-fourth its original value.
E) quadruple.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), if both pressure (P) and volume (V) double, then the temperature (T) must also quadruple to maintain the equality, assuming the amount of gas (n) and the gas constant (R) remain unchanged.

Both the Pressure and Volume of a Given Sample of an Ideal
