JEE Main 2026 Jan 24 Shift 1, Physics Q22: Kinetic Theory of an Ideal Gases

JEE Main2026Jan 24, Shift 1Physics
Q.

A gas of certain mass filled in a closed cylinder at a pressure of 3.23 kPa has temperature . The gas is now heated to double its temperature. The modified pressure is _____ Pa.

Solution

NTA interprets “double its temperature” as doubling the Celsius value, i.e. from C to C (= 373 K).

For a fixed mass at constant volume, (in Kelvin):

.

kPa Pa.

Note: A stricter reading would double the absolute temperature ( K), giving Pa. The NTA-accepted answer follows the Celsius doubling.
