How Does Doubling Volume and Increasing Temperature Affect Gas Pressure?

AI Thread Summary
Doubling the volume of an ideal gas and increasing the temperature to 50 degrees Celsius affects its gauge pressure, which can be calculated using the Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT). At standard temperature and pressure (STP), the initial conditions are 6.00 L at 0 degrees Celsius and 1 atm. To find the new pressure after the changes, the temperature must be converted to Kelvin, and the new volume must be considered. The Ideal Gas Law provides the necessary framework to solve for the new pressure. Understanding these relationships is essential for accurately determining gas behavior under varying conditions.

An Ideal Gas occupies a Volume of 6.00 L at STP. What is its Gauge pressure (in kPa) if the Volume is doubled and the Temperature is increased to 50.0 Degrees Celcius. I don't know where to begine as the question doesn't have a starting Temp, just that it was increased to 50 Degrees Celcius. Any help is greatly appreciated!

STP stands for standard temperature and pressure. it is 0 degrees C and 1 atm.
 
Do you have an equation for me that might help?
 
The Ideal Gas Law should cover this.

I have a really Sorry Book, I will try to find that in there. Thanks!

The Ideal Gas law says in an Ideal Gas in a closed system the following relation always holds constant,

PV = nRT

P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = number of moles
R = The gas constant
T = Temperature (KELVIN)

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
