Question

A gas at 46 K is heated at constant pressure until its volume is doubled, what is its final temperature?
Options
A 49 K
B 23 K
C 123 K
D 92 K
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

For an ideal gas at constant pressure, volume is proportional to absolute temperature (Charles's law): V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂. Given V₂ = 2V₁ and T₁ = 46 K, then T₂ = (V₂/V₁) × T₁ = 2 × 46 = 92 K.

Hint

Use Charles's law: V ∝ T at constant pressure.
