How will you triple volume of an ideal gas in value? Please explain your answer using the ideal gas law (PV = n RT).

Question

I figure that you simply multiply everything by three but Im not 100% that's correct.

Answer 1

You are wrong.

Volume=nRT/P

so you have to tripple (Temp/pressure).

you can do that a number of ways.
hold temp constant, lower pressure by a factor 2/3 (so it is 1/3 the orig pressure)

increase temp by a factor of 1.5, lower pressure by 1/2
3/2 / 1/2= 3
