A sample of gas has its number of molecules tripled, its Kelvin temperature quadrupled, and its volume tripled. By what factor has the new pressure changed relative to the original pressure?
A) 4
B) 4.7
C) 36.3
D) 36

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), if the number of molecules (n) is tripled, the temperature (T) is quadrupled, and the volume (V) is tripled, the pressure (P) will increase by a factor of (3 * 4) / 3 = 4.
