Which of the following would double the pressure on a contained gas at constant temperature?

Adoubling the volume of the container
Bhalving the number of particles in the container
Cdoubling the number of particles in the container
Dnone of the above

Verified Answer :

Answer: C. doubling the number of particles in the container

Explanation: According to the ideal gas equation:'

\(PV=nRT\)

P= Pressure of the gas

V= Volume of the gas

n= number of moles

T= Temperature of the gas

R = gas constant

As the gas is contained in a container with fixed volume and temperature is also constant.

\(P\propto n\)

Therefore, the pressure will double when number of moles or number of particles double.
