If temperature of a gas tripled what happens to the volume?

Answer 1

Assuming a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at constant temperature, then the volume is reduced to a third of its former amount when the pressure is tripled. P V = n R T = constant = k

P1 V1 = k = P2 V2

P2 = 3 P1

3 P1 V2 = P1 V1

V2 V1 / 3

Answer 2

P V = n r T

The product (pressure) x (volume) is directly proportional to [absolute] temperature.

So if the temperature triples but the pressure remains constant, then the volume

must also triple.

Before you run off and start tripling the temperature, remember that we're talking

here about the 'absolute' temperature, which starts counting from absolute zero.

So if your sample of gas started out at zero Celsius, tripling that temperature means

heating the gas to 546° Celsius (about 1,015° F).

Answer 3

If the temperature of a gas triples (assuming pressure is constant), then according to the ideal gas law, the volume of the gas would also triple. This relationship is described by Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure.

Answer 4

Lowering the pressure by a factor of 3 while the temperature stays constant.

Answer 5

An ideal gas retaining the same temperature will have 1/3 the volume.

Answer 6

The gas pressure will be 1/3 of the initial pressure.

Answer 7

It triples also- IF the pressure remains constant.

Answer 8

Tripling the absolute temperature triples the pressure all by itself,

if the volume is constant.

Answer 9

the pressure is reduced by 1/3
