Question

An ideal gas has a volume of 3 V at 2 atmosphere pressure. Keeping the temperature constant, its pressure is doubled. The volume of the gas will be:

Easy
Solution

Initial volume V1 = 3V

Initial pressure P1 = 2 atmosphere

Final pressure

                   P2 = 2P1 = 2 × 2 = 4 atmosphere

According to the Boyle's law we have

P1V1 = P2V2(where V2 is the final volume of gas)

or 2 × 3V = 4×V2 or V2 = 1.5 V
