A gas sample is held at constant temperature. What happens to the pressure of the sample if the volume is doubled and the number of molecules is doubled?\

Respuesta :

Answer:

If the volume is doubled and the number of molecules is doubled, pressure is unchanged

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = constant

Volume will be doubled

Number of molecules will be doubles

Step 2:

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ gas constant and temperature are constant

Initial pressure = n*R*T / V

Initial pressure = 2*R*T/2

Initial pressure =  RT

Final pressure = 4*RT / 4

Final pressure = R*T

If the volume is doubled and the number of molecules is doubled, pressure is unchanged
