Question

Gas Laws

The absolute temperature of a gas is increased four times while maintaining a constant volume. What happens to the pressure
of the gas?

Answer 1

The pressure of the gas increases by the four times.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Gay-Lussac's law

The relationship between pressure and temperature is as follows.

`(P_(1))/(T_(1))=(P_(2))/(T_(2))`\

From the given data, we considered 1 is a initial temperature and 4 is final temperature. Initial pressure is considered as
`P_(1)`.

Let's find the final pressure of the gas.

`P_(2)=(P_(1)T_(2))/(T_(1))`

Substitute the temperature value.

`P_(2)=(P_(1)(4))/(1)`

`P_(2)=4P_(1)`

Therefore, The pressure of the gas increases by the four times.
