Free Gases MCQs with Answers

443 Gases MCQs from Chemistry, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.

Gas behaviour is explained through the kinetic molecular theory and the relationships among pressure, volume and temperature. Work includes STP, Boyle's and Charles's laws, absolute zero, the ideal gas equation, and the distinction between ideal and real gases, especially the effects of intermolecular forces and molecular volume.

  • A. Remains same
  • B. Becomes double
  • C. Becomes half
  • D. increases four times

Explanation: volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the change in temperature (charles law)and inversely proportional to the…

Correct answer: Remains same
  • A. Increased four times
  • B. Decreased four times
  • C. Remained unchanged
  • D. Reduced to one half
  • E. Increased two times

Explanation: PV=nRT V=nRT/P If temperature is halved and pressure is doubled then V=n x R x 0.5T/2P = V=¼(nRT/P) Hence, volume is decreased four times.

Correct answer: Decreased four times
