Question:

At $T$ (K), a gas obeys kinetic gas equation. At this temperature, for a given number of molecules, PV = x. If the number of molecules is doubled at $T$, then the value of PV would be

Show Hint

In $PV = nRT$, if $T$ is constant and $n$ is doubled, $PV$ also doubles.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

From the ideal gas law: $PV = nRT$
If temperature $T$ is constant and $n$ is the number of moles (proportional to number of molecules), then doubling the number of molecules doubles $n$
So, $PV \propto n \Rightarrow PV$ becomes $2x$
