Question

To triple both the pressure and the volume of a fixed amount of an ideal gas, you
would multiply its absolute temperature by
(a) 1
(b) 3
(c) 6
(d) 9

Answer 1

PV=nRT

Answer 2

@surjithayer

Answer 3

so I think its 3

Answer 4

\[\frac{ P*V }{ T }=constant\]

Answer 5

according to above gas eq, it should be 3*3=9

Answer 6

answer should be 9

Answer 7

\[\frac{ P1*V1 }{ T1 }=\frac{ 3P1*3V1 }{ T2 }\]

Answer 8

\[T2=9T1\]

Answer 9

@cormacpayne
do you think its 9 too

Answer 10

so you guys are saying it 9 because we have P & V so we will multiply each by 3 that makes it 9

Answer 11

correct

Answer 12

yup

Answer 13

I thought it would be 3 since they said you have a fixed amount of gas (meaning the volume is constant), but it would make sense if it was 9 as well.

Answer 14

i think fixed amount means mass of gas.

Answer 15

Okay that makes sense. The answer is 9 then.

Answer 16

thanks guys
