Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

a) A sample of 0.12 g of an ideal gas that has an atomic mass of 20 u. Its initial pressure is 2 atm and its initial volume is 100 cm$^3$ find its temperature. And if you know that this sample goes under an isobaric process that makes its final pressure is 200 cm$^3$, what its final temperature? c) The initial temperature is given by $$T_1=\dfrac{(2\times 101,300)(100\times 10^{-6})}{n(8.31)}$$ so, we can use the second given formula to find $n=0.12/20$ $$T_1=\dfrac{(2\times 101,300)(100\times 10^{-6})}{(\frac{0.12}{20})(8.31)}$$ $$T_1=\color{red}{\bf 406}\;\rm K$$ Thus, the final temperature is given by $$T_2=\dfrac{200}{100}\times 406$$ $$T_2=\color{red}{\bf 812}\;\rm K$$ b) We have 2 points here, $\rm ( 100\;cm^3,2\;atm )$ $\rm ( 200\;cm^3,2\;atm )$ See the figure below.
