No @Alya.

It's ° C.

For an ideal gas PV = nRT

So, at constant pressure-volume is directly proportional to temperature so to double the volume the temperature also has to be doubled, so the temperature has to be 327°C.

Sumit has excellent concept. Good.

327K not C.

Here is the easy way to solve this: by using Charles law:

T1/V1 = T2/V2.
27 + 273/1 = T2/2.
T2 = 300K(2)/1.
T2 = 600k since the answer is in celcius.
T2 = 600 - 273 = 327 celcius.

Awesome explanation @Sushmit.

Your answer is best @Susmit.

Temperature given -27 degC.

Convert in kelvin-27+273 = 300k.

Given isobaric process so (v1/v2 = T1/T2).

Given V2 = 2V1. So 1/2 = 300/x.

From this X = 600k or 600-273 = 327 degC.

Everyone should note that when using equations of state, we use absolute values for temperature and pressure.

PV = nR(27+273.15) ---> 1.

P(2V) = nRT --->2.

Dividing 1 by 2.

PV = nR(27+273.15).

---------------.

P(2V) = nRT.

P, V, n, and are cancels out.

(1/2) = (300.15 K)/T;

T = 600.3-273.15 = 327.15 degC.
