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:
6 V
3 V
1.5 V
1 V
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
