  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation: The correct expression for Boyle's Law is:

Correct answer: Option B
  • A. 2V/3
  • B. 3V
  • C. V/3
  • D. 5V

Explanation: When the pressure of a gas is increased three times at constant temperature, according to Boyle's Law, the volume of the gas decreases to…

Correct answer: V/3
  • A. PV vs. P
  • B. P vs. V
  • C. P vs V-l
  • D. PV vs. P-1

Explanation: As pressure and volume are inversaly proportional to each other.So,their plot will be a curved graph.

Correct answer: P vs. V
  • A. Parabola
  • B. Hyperbola
  • C. Straight line
  • D. Circle

Explanation: At constant pressure (isobaric process), the graph between volume (V) and temperature (T) is typically a straight line.

Correct answer: Straight line
  • A. Boyle's law
  • B. Isothermal process
  • C. General gas law
  • D. Charles law
  • E. Henry's law

Explanation: Charles's law, or the law of volumes, was found in 1787 by Jacques Charles.

Correct answer: Charles law
  • A. 3.00 dm3
  • B. 3.43 dm3
  • C. 3.08 dm3
  • D. 3.25 dm3
  • E. 0.54 dm3

Explanation: V1=3.8 dm3 ; T1= 35 +273=308K V2=?; T2=5+273=278K V1/T1=V2/T2 3.8/308=V2/278 V2=3.43 dm3

Correct answer: 3.43 dm3
  • A. 546 oC
  • B. 200 oC
  • C. 546 K
  • D. 273 K

Explanation: According to the general gas equation (PV=nRT), the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Correct answer: 546 K
  • A. 2.3 cm³
  • B. 4 cm³
  • C. 2 cm³
  • D. 3.4 cm³

Explanation: According to Charles' law: V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 Where V = volume and T = temperature in Kelvins 1°C change in temperature = 1 K change 640 /…

Correct answer: 2.3 cm³
  • A. Zero Fahrenheit
  • B. Zero Kelvin
  • C. Absolute Fahrenheit
  • D. All of these options are correct

Explanation: a new temperature scale called Kelvin scale is used for Charles law. This scale begins with 0 Kelvin (-273 degrees) so is also called zero…

Correct answer: Zero Kelvin
  • A. Pressure
  • B. Temperature
  • C. Volume
  • D. Number of moles

Explanation: B is the correct option because In Charles's law volume occupied by the gas is directly proportional to the temperature.

Correct answer: Temperature
  • A. Contracts
  • B. Expands
  • C. Shrink
  • D. Squeezed

Explanation: As temperature increases the volume of the gas also increases.

Correct answer: Expands
  • A. Pressure
  • B. Temperature
  • C. Number of moles
  • D. All of these

Explanation: Option A is incorrect as greater pressure decreases the volume of a gas.

Correct answer: Number of moles
  • A. 1L
  • B. 0.1L
  • C. 1.05 L
  • D. 1.50L

Explanation: This is the correct solution given below: P1 = 1 atm V1 = 0.5 L ( 0.5 dm3 ) T1 = 0o C ( 0 + 273 = 273 K) P2 = 1 atm T2 = 300o C ( 300 +…

Correct answer: 1.05 L
  • A. 3°C
  • B. 819°C
  • C. 819K
  • D. 3K

Explanation: The volume of a gas at STP is 10 dm3. If the pressure is kept constant, the volume of the gas will increase as the temperature increases.

Correct answer: 819K
  • A. Increases
  • B. Remains unchanged
  • C. Decreases
  • D. First increases then decreases

Explanation: On heating,the temperature of gas will increase.So,its volume will also increase as temperature is directly proportional to volume at…

Correct answer: Increases
  • A. H2
  • B. N2
  • C. CO2
  • D. CI2

Explanation: It has nonpolar bonds between its component atoms. This results in a weaker attraction between a nucleus.

Correct answer: H2
  • A. Boyle's law
  • B. Charles's law
  • C. Avogadro's law
  • D. Van der Waals

Explanation: Option D is correct since Van der Waals developed an explanation for the deviation of real gas from ideal gas and an equation that was…

Correct answer: Van der Waals
  • A. torr
  • B. atm
  • C. pounds per square inch
  • D. Nm-2.

Explanation: Pounds per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure that is used to measure the force per unit area exerted by a fluid or gas.

Correct answer: pounds per square inch
  • A. Atm
  • B. Pascal
  • C. mm of Hg
  • D. Millibar

Explanation: Option D is correct since Meteorologists use a metric unit for pressure called a millibar and the average pressure at sea level is 1013.25…
