Answer to Problem 1OQ
Option (d)
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression from the
In the given problem, final volume is doubles of initial and the final temperature is quadrupled of initial temperature.
Rewrite the expression from equation (I).
Hence the final pressure will be doubled.
Conclusion:
Since, the final pressure will be doubled. Thus, the correct option is (d).
Since, the final pressure is not remains same. The incorrect option is (a).
Since, final pressure is not decrease by factor 2. The incorrect option is (b).
Since, final pressure is not decrease by factor 4. Thus, the incorrect option is (c).
Since, final pressure is not increases by factor 4. Thus, the incorrect option is (e).
