Question

Which law is described by saying that doubling the absolute temperature will double the pressure of a sample of gas in a rigid container?

Answer 1

Answer:

Gay Lussac law

Explanation:

Gay Lussac law states that for a gas kept at constant volume (so, in a rigid container), the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

In mathematical formula:

$\frac{p}{T}=k$

where

p is the gas pressure

T is the absolute temperature

According to this law, we see therefore that if the absolute temperature of the gas is doubled:

T' = 2T

The pressure will also double:

$\frac{p}{T}=\frac{p'}{T'}\\p' = p \frac{T'}{T}=p\frac{2T}{T}=2p$
