Stochiometry, Boyle's Law problem
« on: March 07, 2014, 02:46:47 PM »
A fixed mass of an ideal gas at 27.0 °C and 1.01×105 Pa has a volume of 100 cm3. Which change doubles the volume of the gas?

A. Heating the gas at constant pressure to 54.0 °C.
B. Heating the gas at constant pressure to 327 °C.
C. Increasing the pressure on the gas to 2.02×105 Pa at constant temperature.
D. Heating the gas to 54.0 °C and increasing the pressure to 2.02×105 Pa.

- When I use the gas law P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 I get the change in temperature with constant pressure to 54 °C to double the volume of the gas. However, the answer should be B. Please explain

When doing Ideal Gas Law calculations, what temperature units should you use.
