The temperature and pressure of 4 dm3 of an ideal gas are doubled. The volume of the gas now is
  1. 2 dm3
  2. 3 dm3
  3. 4 dm3
  4. 8 dm3

Solution: 4 dm3

From ideal gas equation, we have:

$ \frac{{{P}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=\frac{{{P}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}{{{T}_{2}}} $

$ We\,have\,: $

$ {{P}_{1}}=P,\,{{T}_{1}}=T,\,{{V}_{1}}=V\,\,and\,\,{{P}_{2}}=2P,\,{{T}_{2}}=2T $

$ \therefore {{V}_{2}}={{V}_{1}}=V\, $

and, V = 4 dm3

The volume remains unchanged.
