The absolute temperature of the ideal gas was doubled. How should its mass be changed so that, with a constant volume, its pressure would increase by 4 times?

The state of an ideal gas is described by the Clapeyron-Mendeleev formula:

PV = mRT / M, where P, V, T – pressure, volume and absolute temperature, respectively, m – gas mass, R – universal gas constant, M – molar mass.

We find the dependence of pressure on mass, volume and temperature:

P = (mRT) / (MV) (1).

After changing the mass to the value m1 and the temperature to the value 2T, the pressure increased 4 times:

4P = (m1R * 2T) / (MV) (2).

From (1) and (2) we find the initial and modified masses:

m = (MPV) / RT;

m1 = (M * 4P * V) / (R * 2T) = (2MPV) / (RT).

Mass ratio:

m1 / m = ((2MPV) / (RT)) / ((MPV) / (RT)) = 2.

m1 = 2m.

The correct answer is to double it.
