With volume and molar quantity held constant,by what factor does the absolute temperature change for an ideal gas when the pressure is five times bigger?
A) 0.2
B) 1.0
C) 5.0
D) 25.0

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), if volume (V) and molar quantity (n) are constant, the pressure (P) is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (T). Therefore, if the pressure is increased by a factor of 5, the temperature must also increase by a factor of 5 to maintain the equality.
