An ideal gas has a volume of 3V at 2 atmosphere pressure. Keeping the temperature constant, its pressure is doubled. The volume of the gas will be :
6V
3V
1.5V
1V

Solution:

Since the temperature is constant, we can use Boyle's Law, which states that \( P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2 \).

Given:
- Initial pressure, \( P_1 = 2 \) atm
- Initial volume, \( V_1 = 3V \)
- Final pressure, \( P_2 = 2 \times P_1 = 4 \) atm

Using Boyle's Law:

\[
P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2
\]
\[
2 \times 3V = 4 \times V_2
\]
\[
6V = 4V_2
\]
\[
V_2 = \frac{6V}{4} = 1.5V
\]

So, the final volume \( V_2 \) is \( 1.5V \).
