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.

  • D. All motion is ceased

Explanation: At absolute zero, which is 0 Kelvin or -273.15°C, all molecular motion ceases.

Correct answer: All motion is ceased
  • A. Kept constant
  • B. Zero
  • C. Variable
  • D. None of the above

Explanation: Its is kept constant. Imagine you have a balloon filled with gas. If you keep the temperature and the amount of gas inside the balloon…

Correct answer: Kept constant
  • A. 1/2
  • B. 2x
  • C. 4x
  • D. 1/4

Explanation: Option B is correct. When the pressure of an ideal gas is reduced to half at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas will double.
