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.

Explanation: While each of these variables (volume, temperature, pressure) can change in different gas laws, the number of moles (n) is generally…

Correct answer: Number of motes
  • A. Cannot be predicted
  • B. Is reduced to 1/2
  • C. Remains unchanged
  • D. Is doubled

Explanation: Temp is directly proportionsl to pressure and pressure is inversely proportional to volume.

Correct answer: Remains unchanged
  • A. Temperature and pressure is increased
  • B. Temperature is lowered and pressure is decreased
  • C. Temperature and pressure is decreased
  • D. Temperature is lowered and pressure is increased

Explanation: Option A: Temperature and pressure increased is incorrect because increasing the temperature and pressure would cause the gas to expand…
