The volume of a fixed amount of gas is doubled, and the absolute temperature is doubled. According to the ideal gas law, how has the pressure of the gas changed? A. It has stayed the same. B. It has decreased to one-half its original value. C. It has increased to four times its original value. D. It has increased to two times its original value.

Option A. It has stayed the same.

Explanation:

To answer the question given above, we assumed:

Initial volume (V₁) = V

Initial temperature (T₁) = T

Initial pressure (P₁) = P

From the question given above, the following data were:

Final volume (V₂) = 2V

Final temperature (T₂) = 2T

Final pressure (P₂) =?

The final pressure of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

PV/T = P₂ × 2V / 2T

Cross multiply

P₂ × 2V × T = PV × 2T

Divide both side by 2V × T

P₂ = PV × 2T / 2V × T

P₂ = P

Thus, the final pressure is the same as the initial pressure.

Option A gives the correct answer to the question.
