Sawyer · Answer 1

The pressure exerted by the gas is 100kPa

Explanation:

Let's apply the Charles Gay Lussac law, to solve the question.

At constant volume the pressure varies proportionally with the temperature.

P initial / T° initial = P final / T° final

50kPa / 20°C = P final / 40°C

Temperature has increased the double, so the pressure will be increased, the double too.

100 kPa
