Answer :

The volume did not change, it remained at 20 ml

Further explanation

Given

20 ml a sample gas at STP(273 K, 1 atm)

T₂=546 K

P₂=2 atm

Required

The volume

Solution

Combined gas Law :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{P_1.V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2.V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

Input the value :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{1\times 20}{273}=\dfrac{2\times V_2}{546}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{1\times 20\times 546}{273\times 2}\\\\V_2=20~ml[/tex]

The volume does not change because the pressure and temperature are increased by the same ratio as the initial conditions (to 2x)
