when a sample of oxygen gas in a rigid closed container of constant volume is heated until its absolute temperature is doubled, which of the following is also doubled?

a) the density of the gas
b) the pressure of the gas
c) the average velocity of the gas molecules
d) the number of molecules per cubic cm
e) the potential energy of the molecules

Answer:
The ideal gas equation is

PV = nRT

so if V (the volume) is constant and n (the number of moles) is constant and R (the gas constant) is constant, when you double T (the absolute temperature) you must also double P (the pressure)
Should be B) pressure
Using the universal gas equation:

PV=nRT

V, n and R stay constant in your questions, so doubling T doubles P

The answer is b)
Gay Lussac's Law.
b)...The Pressure will be doubled.
