Free Ideal Gas Equation MCQs with Answers

94 Ideal Gas Equation MCQs from Chemistry, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.

The ideal gas equation, PV = nRT, relates pressure, volume, amount and absolute temperature when gas particles are assumed to have negligible volume and no intermolecular forces. Applications include finding molar mass, density or an unknown gas variable, with careful use of Kelvin temperature and consistent units, and comparison with real-gas behaviour.

  • A. Neon
  • B. Helium
  • C. Argon
  • D. Krypton

Explanation: The main reason for adding helium to the breathing mix is to reduce the proportions of nitrogen and oxygen below those of air, to allow…

Correct answer: Helium
  • A. M/6
  • B. 2M
  • C. 6M
  • D. 6/M

Explanation: Density is defined as mass per unit volume. In this case, the density of gas X is given as 6 times the density of gas Y.

Correct answer: M/6
  • A. Decrease, Increase
  • B. Increase, Decrease
  • C. Falls, Constant
  • D. Constant, constant

Explanation: The density of an ideal gas decreases as its temperature increases and its pressure decreases.

Correct answer: Increase, Decrease
  • A. Partial volume
  • B. Partial pressure
  • C. Partial temperature

Correct answer: 17 dm3
  • A. Pressure
  • B. Volume
  • C. Absolute temperature
  • D. Molar mass of the gas

Explanation: This option is correct. The value of the gas constant 'R' is independent of the molar mass of the gas.

Correct answer: Molar mass of the gas

  • B. Becomes 1/1.5 times the initial value
  • C. Becomes 2.25 times the initial value
  • D. Remains the same

Explanation: According to the formula and reference given below density should decrease.

Correct answer: Remains the same
  • A. O2
