which statement is true?

Question

A metal gas cylinder containing 17.1 atm of nitrogen is stored at 300K. According to the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, if the temperature doubles, which statement is true?

Group of answer choices

the volume will be doubled

the pressure will be doubled

the pressure will be cut in half

the volume will be cut in half

can't be determined from the information provided

Answer 1

Pressure will be doubled.

If the temperature (T) doubled, and the amount of gas (n) stayed the same, the product of pressure and volume (PV) will be doubled.

It is implied that the volume (V) of the metal cylinder is kept constant, hence the pressure (P) will be doubled.
