Answer

The correct diagram is the one labeled "2".

Work Step by Step

1. Write the combine gas law: $\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$ 2. If the atmospheric pressure is doubled: $P_2 = 2P_1$ 3. If the Kelvin temperature is doubled: $T_2 = 2T_1$ 4. Substitute these equations into the combined gas law: $\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{(2P_1)V_2}{(2T_1)}$ - Multiply both sides by "$T_1$": $P_1V_1 = \frac{2P_1V_2}{2}$ - 2 divided by 2 equals to 1. $P_1V_1 = P_1V_2$ - Divide both sides by "$P_1$" $V_1 = V_2$ 5. Therefore, the final volume is equal to the initial one. The diagram $2$ represents exactly this situation.
