Question

a fixed amount of ideal gas is held in a rigid container that expands negligibly when heated. at 20 the gas pressure is p. if we added enough heat to increase the temperature from 20 to 40, the pressure will be

Answer 1

When the temperature of the gas is increased from 20 to 40, the pressure will be 2p

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

initial temperature of the gas, T₁ = 20 K

final temperature of the gas, T₂ = 40 k

initial pressure of the gas, P₁ = P

final pressure of the gas, P₂ = ?

Apply pressure law of gases;

`(P_1)/(T_1) = (P_2)/(T_2) \\\\P_2 = (P_1T_2)/(T_1) \\\\P_2 = (40P)/(20) \\\\P_2 = 2P`

Therefore, when the temperature of the gas is increased from 20 to 40, the pressure will be 2p
