Gay-Lussac's law (constant volume) - problems and solutions

1. Ideal gases initially have pressure P and temperature T. The gas undergoes isochoric process so
that the final pressure becomes 4 times the initial pressure. What is the final temperature of gases.
Known :
Initial pressure (P1) = P
Final pressure (P2) = 4P
Initial temperature (T1) = T
Wanted : Final temperature (T2)
Solution :
Formula of Gay-Lussac's law :
P
=constant
T
P1 P2
=
T1 T 2
P 4P
=
T T2
1 4
=
T T2
T 2 =4 T
The final temperature becomes 4 times the initial temperature.

2. In a closed container, ideal gases initially have temperature of 27 oC. If the final pressure becomes
2 times the initial pressure, what is the final temperature.
Known :
Initial pressure (P1) = P
Final pressure (P2) = 2P
Initial temperature (T1) = 27oC + 273 = 300 K
Wanted : Final temperature (T2)
Solution :
