Question

Which law is described by saying that doubling the absolute temperature will double the pressure of a sample of gas in a rigid container?

Answer 1

Gay-Lussac’s law

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the correct answer on Edge.

Answer 2

Gay Lussac law

Step-by-step explanation:

Gay Lussac law states that for a gas kept at constant volume (so, in a rigid container), the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

In mathematical formula:

`(p)/(T)=k`

where

p is the gas pressure

T is the absolute temperature

According to this law, we see therefore that if the absolute temperature of the gas is doubled:

T' = 2T

The pressure will also double:

`(p)/(T)=(p')/(T')\\p' = p (T')/(T)=p(2T)/(T)=2p`
