An ideal gas at 0C0^\circ\text{C} and atmospheric pressure PP has volume VV. The percentage increase in its temperature needed to expand it to 3V3V at constant pressure is:

A

100%

B

200%

C

300%

D

50%

Step-by-Step Solution

According to Charles's Law, for an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (VTV \propto T).

  1. Initial State: V1=VV_1 = V, T1=0C=273 KT_1 = 0^\circ\text{C} = 273 \text{ K}.
  2. Final State: The volume expands to 3V3V. Since VTV \propto T, if the volume becomes 3 times the initial volume, the absolute temperature must also become 3 times the initial temperature. T2=3T1=3×273=819 KT_2 = 3T_1 = 3 \times 273 = 819 \text{ K}.
  3. Calculate Increase: Change in temperature ΔT=T2T1=3T1T1=2T1\Delta T = T_2 - T_1 = 3T_1 - T_1 = 2T_1.
  4. Percentage Increase: % Increase=ΔTT1×100=2T1T1×100=200%\% \text{ Increase} = \frac{\Delta T}{T_1} \times 100 = \frac{2T_1}{T_1} \times 100 = 200\%.
