Cuando un gas que se encuentra a 20°c se calienta hasta los 40°c sin que varie su presion, su volumen se duplica
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Not doubled

Explanation:

The equation below represent the ideal gases relationship

PV ÷ T = constant

Here

P denotes pressure,

V denotes volume,

T denotes temperature in degrees Kelvin

Now

20 ° c = 273 + 20

= 293 K

And,

40 ° c = 313 K

So,

V = Vo. 313 K ÷  293 K = 1.07 Vo

So,  the volume is NOT doubled.

In the case when the temperature would be determined in degrees celsius at 0 degrees so the volume would be zero
