MediumMCQ
If the volume of a given mass of a gas is increased four times,and the temperature is raised from $27^{\circ}C$ to $127^{\circ}C$,what happens to its elasticity?
A
$4$ times
B
$1/4$ times
C
$3$ times
D
$1/3$ times

Solution

(D) For an ideal gas,the isothermal elasticity is equal to the pressure $P$. Thus,we need to find the ratio of the final pressure $P_2$ to the initial pressure $P_1$.
From the ideal gas equation,$\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}$.
Given: $V_2 = 4V_1$,$T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$,and $T_2 = 127 + 273 = 400 \ K$.
Substituting these values: $\frac{P_2}{P_1} = \frac{V_1}{V_2} \times \frac{T_2}{T_1} = \left( \frac{1}{4} \right) \times \left( \frac{400}{300} \right) = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{1}{3}$.
Therefore,the elasticity $E_2 = \frac{1}{3} E_1$,which means the elasticity becomes $1/3$ times the original value.

EasyMCQ
Absolute zero $(0\, K)$ is that temperature at which
A
Matter ceases to exist
B
Ice melts and water freezes
C
Volume and pressure of a gas becomes zero
D
None of these

Solution

(C) We know that the pressure $P$ and volume $V$ of an ideal gas are given by the relations $P = P_0(1 + \gamma t)$ and $V = V_0(1 + \gamma t)$,where $\gamma = 1/273.15\, ^\circ C^{-1}$.
For $t = -273.15\, ^\circ C$,we get $P = P_0(1 + (1/273.15) \times (-273.15)) = P_0(1 - 1) = 0$.
Similarly,$V = V_0(1 + (1/273.15) \times (-273.15)) = V_0(1 - 1) = 0$.
Therefore,at absolute zero $(0\, K)$,the volume and pressure of an ideal gas theoretically become zero.

MediumMCQ
The temperature of a gas at pressure $P$ and volume $V$ is $27^{\circ}C$. Keeping its volume constant,if its temperature is raised to $927^{\circ}C$,then its pressure will be (in $P$)
A
$2$
B
$3$
C
$4$
D
$6$

Solution

(C) According to Gay-Lussac's Law,for a fixed volume,the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature: $P \propto T$ or $\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}$.
Given:
Initial pressure $P_1 = P$
Initial temperature $T_1 = 27^{\circ}C = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$
Final temperature $T_2 = 927^{\circ}C = 927 + 273 = 1200 \ K$
Substituting the values into the formula:
$P_2 = P_1 \times \frac{T_2}{T_1}$
$P_2 = P \times \frac{1200}{300}$
$P_2 = 4P$
Therefore,the new pressure will be $4P$.

$4$ moles of an ideal gas is at $0^\circ C$. At constant pressure,it is heated to double its volume. Its final temperature will be ...... $^\circ C$.
A
$0$
B
$273$
C
$546$
D
$136.5$

Solution

(B) According to Charles's Law,for a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure,the volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature: $V \propto T$ or $\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}$.
Given: Initial temperature $T_1 = 0^\circ C = 273 \ K$. Initial volume $V_1 = V$. Final volume $V_2 = 2V$.
Substituting the values into the formula: $\frac{V}{273} = \frac{2V}{T_2}$.
Solving for $T_2$: $T_2 = 2 \times 273 = 546 \ K$.
To convert the final temperature back to Celsius: $T_2(^\circ C) = 546 - 273 = 273^\circ C$.

EasyMCQ
Boyle's law holds for an ideal gas during
A
Isobaric changes
B
Isothermal changes
C
Isochoric changes
D
Isotonic changes

Solution

(B) Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature, for a fixed mass of a gas, the product of pressure and volume is constant, i.e., $PV = \text{constant}$.
Since the temperature remains constant during this process, it is defined as an isothermal change.
Therefore, option $B$ is correct.

EasyMCQ
$S.I.$ unit of universal gas constant is
A
$cal/^{\circ}C$
B
$J/mol$
C
$J\,mol^{-1}\,K^{-1}$
D
$J/kg$

Solution

(C) The ideal gas equation is given by $PV = nRT$,where $P$ is pressure,$V$ is volume,$n$ is the number of moles,$R$ is the universal gas constant,and $T$ is the absolute temperature.
Rearranging the formula for $R$,we get $R = \frac{PV}{nT}$.
The $S.I.$ unit of pressure $P$ is Pascal ($Pa$ or $N/m^2$),volume $V$ is $m^3$,$n$ is $mol$,and temperature $T$ is $K$.
Substituting these units: $R = \frac{(N/m^2) \cdot m^3}{mol \cdot K} = \frac{N \cdot m}{mol \cdot K} = \frac{J}{mol \cdot K}$.
Therefore,the $S.I.$ unit of the universal gas constant is $J\,mol^{-1}\,K^{-1}$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ perfect gas at $27^{\circ}C$ is heated at constant pressure so as to triple its volume. The temperature of the gas will be ...... $^{\circ}C$.
A
$81$
B
$900$
C
$627$
D
$450$

Solution

(C) According to Charles's Law,for a gas at constant pressure,the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature: $V \propto T$.
Therefore,$\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}$.
Given: Initial temperature $T_1 = 27^{\circ}C = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$.
Initial volume $V_1 = V$.
Final volume $V_2 = 3V$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{V}{300} = \frac{3V}{T_2}$.
$T_2 = 300 \times 3 = 900 \ K$.
To convert the temperature back to Celsius: $t(^{\circ}C) = T(K) - 273$.
$t = 900 - 273 = 627^{\circ}C$.

MediumMCQ
The density of a gas at normal pressure and $27^{\circ}C$ temperature is $24$. Keeping the pressure constant,the density at $127^{\circ}C$ will be:
A
$6$
B
$12$
C
$18$
D
$24$

Solution

(C) Given that the density of a gas $(d_1)$ at temperature $T_1 = 27^{\circ}C = 300 \ K$ is $24$.
We need to find the density $(d_2)$ at temperature $T_2 = 127^{\circ}C = 400 \ K$ while keeping the pressure $(P)$ constant.
From the ideal gas equation,$PV = nRT = (m/M)RT$,we can write $P = (m/V)(RT/M) = d(RT/M)$.
Thus,$d = \frac{PM}{RT}$.
Since pressure $(P)$ and molar mass $(M)$ are constant,we have $d \propto \frac{1}{T}$.
Therefore,$\frac{d_1}{d_2} = \frac{T_2}{T_1}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{24}{d_2} = \frac{400}{300}$.
$d_2 = \frac{24 \times 300}{400} = 18$.
Thus,the density at $127^{\circ}C$ is $18$. The correct option is $(c)$.

MediumMCQ
The volume of a gas at $20^{\circ}C$ is $200\, ml$. If the temperature is reduced to $-20^{\circ}C$ at constant pressure,its volume will be ...... $ml$.
A
$172.6$
B
$17.26$
C
$192.7$
D
$19.27$

Solution

(A) According to Charles's Law,for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure,the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature: $V \propto T$.
This implies: $\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}$.
Given:
$V_1 = 200\, ml$
$T_1 = 20^{\circ}C = 20 + 273 = 293\, K$
$T_2 = -20^{\circ}C = -20 + 273 = 253\, K$
Substituting the values into the formula:
$\frac{200}{293} = \frac{V_2}{253}$
$V_2 = \frac{200 \times 253}{293}$
$V_2 = \frac{50600}{293} \approx 172.69\, ml$.
Rounding to the nearest provided option,the volume is $172.6\, ml$.

EasyMCQ
At absolute zero temperature,the pressure of an ideal gas will be
A
Zero
B
One atmospheric pressure
C
$P_0 \times 273$
D
$P_0 \times 76$

Solution

(A) According to the ideal gas equation,$PV = \mu RT$.
At absolute zero temperature,$T = 0 \ K$.
Substituting $T = 0$ into the equation,we get $PV = \mu R(0) = 0$.
Since the volume $V$ of a gas cannot be zero,the pressure $P$ must be $0$.

EasyMCQ
The gas which obeys Boyle's law for the maximum range of temperature is
A
$CO_2$
B
$O_3$
C
$H_2$
D
$He$

Solution

(D) The temperature at which a real gas obeys the ideal gas law over an appreciable range of pressure is called the Boyle temperature.
For an ideal gas,$PV = nRT$.
Real gases behave like ideal gases at high temperatures,well above their critical points.
Among the given options,Helium $(He)$ is a noble gas with a very low critical temperature and weak intermolecular forces,allowing it to behave as an ideal gas over a much wider range of temperatures compared to more complex molecules like $CO_2$ or $O_3$.
Therefore,$He$ obeys Boyle's law for the maximum range of temperature.
Hence,the correct option is $(D)$.
12
EasyMCQ
When air is filled in a balloon, both the pressure and volume increase while the temperature remains constant. Why is Boyle's law not obeyed in this case?
A
Mass of air is negligible
B
Mass of air does not remain constant
C
Air is not a perfect gas
D
Pressure inside the balloon is less than the atmospheric pressure

Solution

(B) Boyle's law states that for a fixed mass of an ideal gas at constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume is constant $(PV = \text{constant})$.
When you blow air into a balloon, you are adding more air molecules into the balloon. Therefore, the number of moles $(n)$ of the gas is not constant.
According to the ideal gas equation, $PV = nRT$.
Since the temperature $(T)$ is constant and the number of moles $(n)$ increases as you blow air into the balloon, the product $PV$ must increase $(PV \propto n)$.
Because the mass (and thus the number of moles) of the air inside the balloon does not remain constant, Boyle's law is not applicable.
13
EasyMCQ
For Boyle's law to hold, the gas should be:
A
Perfect and of constant mass and temperature
B
Real and of constant mass and temperature
C
Perfect and at constant temperature but variable mass
D
Real and at constant temperature but variable mass

Solution

(A) Boyle's law states that for a fixed mass of an ideal gas at a constant temperature, the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume ($P \propto 1/V$ or $PV = \text{constant}$).
From the ideal gas equation, $PV = nRT$.
For $PV$ to be constant, the number of moles $(n)$ must remain constant (fixed mass) and the temperature $(T)$ must remain constant.
Additionally, Boyle's law is strictly applicable to ideal (perfect) gases.
Therefore, the correct condition is that the gas must be perfect (ideal) and have constant mass and temperature.
Thus, option $(A)$ is correct.

MediumMCQ
If the pressure of a gas contained in a closed vessel is increased by $0.4\%$ when heated by $1\,^{\circ}C$,the initial temperature must be
A
$250\, K$
B
$250\, ^{\circ}C$
C
$2500\, K$
D
$25\, ^{\circ}C$

Solution

(A) For a gas in a closed vessel,the volume $V$ remains constant. According to Gay-Lussac's Law,$\frac{P}{T} = \text{constant}$.
Let the initial pressure be $P_1$ and the initial temperature be $T_1$ (in Kelvin).
When the temperature is increased by $1\,^{\circ}C$,the new temperature is $T_2 = T_1 + 1$.
The pressure increases by $0.4\%$,so the new pressure is $P_2 = P_1 + 0.004 P_1 = 1.004 P_1$.
Using the relation $\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}$,we get:
$\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{1.004 P_1}{T_1 + 1}$
$T_1 + 1 = 1.004 T_1$
$1 = 1.004 T_1 - T_1$
$1 = 0.004 T_1$
$T_1 = \frac{1}{0.004} = 250\, K$.

EasyMCQ
Consider a $1 \, cm^3$ sample of air at absolute temperature $T_0$ at sea level and another $1 \, cm^3$ sample of air at a height where the pressure is one-third atmosphere. The absolute temperature $T$ of the sample at that height is
A
Equal to $T_0/3$
B
Equal to $3/T_0$
C
Equal to $T_0$
D
Cannot be determined in terms of $T_0$ from the above data

Solution

(A) The ideal gas law is given by $PV = nRT$.
For a fixed amount of gas ($n$ is constant) and a fixed volume ($V = 1 \, cm^3$ in both cases),the relationship between pressure and temperature is $P \propto T$.
Let the initial pressure at sea level be $P_0$ and the initial temperature be $T_0$.
At the given height,the pressure is $P = P_0/3$.
Using the relation $\frac{P_0}{T_0} = \frac{P}{T}$,we substitute $P = P_0/3$:
$\frac{P_0}{T_0} = \frac{P_0/3}{T}$.
Solving for $T$,we get $T = T_0/3$.

MediumMCQ
To double the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas at $27^{\circ}C$ keeping the pressure constant,one must raise the temperature in degrees Celsius to ....... $^{\circ}C$.
A
$54$
B
$270$
C
$327$
D
$600$

Solution

(C) According to Charles's Law,for a given mass of an ideal gas at constant pressure,the volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature: $V \propto T$.
This implies: $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2}$.
Given: $V_1 = V$,$V_2 = 2V$,and $T_1 = 27^{\circ}C = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{V}{2V} = \frac{300}{T_2}$.
Solving for $T_2$: $T_2 = 300 \times 2 = 600 \ K$.
Converting back to degrees Celsius: $T_2(^{\circ}C) = 600 - 273 = 327^{\circ}C$.
17
EasyMCQ
At $NTP$,a sample of equal volume of chlorine and oxygen is taken. What is the ratio of the number of molecules?
A
$1:1$
B
$32:27$
C
$2:1$
D
$16:14$

Solution

(A) According to Avogadro's Law,equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain an equal number of molecules.
Since both chlorine $(Cl_2)$ and oxygen $(O_2)$ are taken at $NTP$ (Normal Temperature and Pressure) and have equal volumes,they must contain the same number of molecules.
Therefore,the ratio of the number of molecules is $1:1$.
Thus,option $(A)$ is correct.

MediumMCQ
$A$ cylinder of $5 \ L$ capacity,filled with air at $N.T.P.$,is connected to another evacuated cylinder of $30 \ L$ capacity. The resultant air pressure in both the cylinders will be ...... $cm$ of $Hg$. (in $.85$)
A
$38$
B
$21$
C
$10$
D
$14$

Solution

(C) According to Boyle's law,for a constant temperature,$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$.
Given:
Initial pressure at $N.T.P.$,$P_{1} = 76 \ cm$ of $Hg$.
Initial volume,$V_{1} = 5 \ L$.
Final volume,$V_{2} = 5 \ L + 30 \ L = 35 \ L$.
Applying the formula:
$76 \times 5 = P_{2} \times 35$
$P_{2} = \frac{76 \times 5}{35}$
$P_{2} = \frac{76}{7} \approx 10.857 \ cm$ of $Hg$.
Rounding to two decimal places,the resultant pressure is $10.86 \ cm$ of $Hg$. The closest option is $10.85 \ cm$ of $Hg$.

EasyMCQ
The volume of a gas becomes four times if:
A
Temperature becomes four times at constant pressure.
B
Temperature becomes one-fourth at constant pressure.
C
Temperature becomes two times at constant pressure.
D
Temperature becomes half at constant pressure.

Solution

(A) According to the ideal gas law,$PV = nRT$.
For a fixed amount of gas ($n$ is constant) at constant pressure ($P$ is constant),the relationship between volume $(V)$ and temperature $(T)$ is given by Charles's Law: $V \propto T$.
If the volume $V$ becomes $4V$,then the temperature $T$ must also become $4T$ to maintain the equality.
Therefore,the temperature must increase by $4$ times at constant pressure.
Thus,option $(A)$ is correct.
20
EasyMCQ
The relationship between pressure and the density of a gas expressed by Boyle's law,$P = K\rho$,holds true:
A
For any gas under any conditions
B
For some gases under any conditions
C
Only if the temperature is kept constant
D
Only if the density is constant

Solution

(C) The relationship is given by $P = K\rho$.
From the ideal gas law,we know that $PV = nRT = \frac{m}{M_0} RT$,where $m$ is the mass and $M_0$ is the molar mass.
Rearranging for density $\rho = \frac{m}{V}$,we get $P = \frac{\rho RT}{M_0}$.
Comparing this with $P = K\rho$,we identify $K = \frac{RT}{M_0}$.
Since $R$ is the universal gas constant and $M_0$ is the molar mass of the gas,$K$ remains constant only if the temperature $T$ is kept constant.
Therefore,Boyle's law holds true only if the temperature is constant.
21
EasyMCQ
The kinetic theory of gases provides a base for:
A
Charles's law
B
Boyle's law
C
Charles's law and Boyle's law
D
None of these

Solution

(C) The kinetic theory of gases states that the average kinetic energy $(KE)$ of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.
From the kinetic theory,the pressure $P$ and volume $V$ are related by the equation: $PV = \frac{1}{3} m n v_{\text{rms}}^2 = \frac{2}{3} \times (\frac{1}{2} m n v_{\text{rms}}^2) = \frac{2}{3} E_k$,where $E_k$ is the total kinetic energy.
Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature,the average $KE$ is constant. Therefore,$v_{\text{rms}}$ remains unchanged. If the volume increases,the pressure of the gas decreases such that $PV = \text{constant}$.
Charles's law states that if we allow the volume to change to maintain constant pressure,the volume will increase with increasing temperature,i.e.,$V = KT$.
Since the kinetic theory of gases successfully derives both laws,option $(C)$ is correct.
22
EasyMCQ
On $0^{\circ}C$,the pressure measured by a barometer is $760 \, mm$. What will be the pressure at $100^{\circ}C$?
A
$760 \, mm$
B
$730 \, mm$
C
$780 \, mm$
D
None of these

Solution

(D) According to the Gay-Lussac's Law for a fixed mass of gas at constant volume,the pressure $P$ is directly proportional to the absolute temperature $T$ $(P \propto T)$.
Given:
Initial pressure $P_1 = 760 \, mm$ at temperature $T_1 = 0^{\circ}C = 273 \, K$.
Final temperature $T_2 = 100^{\circ}C = 373 \, K$.
Using the relation $\frac{P_2}{P_1} = \frac{T_2}{T_1}$:
$P_2 = P_1 \times \frac{T_2}{T_1}$
$P_2 = 760 \times \frac{373}{273}$
$P_2 \approx 1038 \, mm$.
Since $1038 \, mm$ is not among the options,the correct choice is $D$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ perfect gas at $27^\circ C$ is heated at constant pressure to $327^\circ C$. If the original volume of the gas at $27^\circ C$ is $V$,then the volume at $327^\circ C$ is:
A
$V$
B
$3V$
C
$2V$
D
$V/2$

Solution

(C) According to Charles's Law,for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure,the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature: $V \propto T$.
This implies: $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2}$.
Given:
Initial temperature $T_1 = 27^\circ C = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$.
Final temperature $T_2 = 327^\circ C = 327 + 273 = 600 \ K$.
Initial volume $V_1 = V$.
Substituting the values:
$\frac{V}{V_2} = \frac{300}{600} = \frac{1}{2}$.
Therefore,the final volume $V_2 = 2V$.

MediumMCQ
Hydrogen gas is filled in a balloon at $20^\circ C$. If the temperature is increased to $40^\circ C$ while the pressure remains constant,what fraction of the original Hydrogen gas will escape from the balloon?
A
$0.07$
B
$0.25$
C
$0.5$
D
$0.75$

Solution

(A) According to Charles's Law,for a constant pressure,the volume $V$ of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature $T$ $(V \propto T)$.
Let $n_1$ be the initial number of moles at $T_1 = 20^\circ C = 293 \ K$ and $n_2$ be the final number of moles at $T_2 = 40^\circ C = 313 \ K$.
From the ideal gas equation $PV = nRT$,since $P$ and $V$ (volume of the balloon) are constant in terms of the container capacity,but the amount of gas changes to maintain pressure,we look at the relationship $n \propto 1/T$ for a fixed volume and pressure.
$\frac{n_2}{n_1} = \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{293}{313}$.
The fraction of gas that escapes is $\frac{n_1 - n_2}{n_1} = 1 - \frac{n_2}{n_1} = 1 - \frac{293}{313}$.
$\frac{\Delta n}{n_1} = \frac{313 - 293}{313} = \frac{20}{313} \approx 0.0639$.
Rounding to the nearest provided option,the fraction is approximately $0.07$.

At constant temperature,increasing the pressure of a gas by $5\%$ will decrease its volume by ..... $\%$
A
$5$
B
$5.26$
C
$4.26$
D
$4.76$

Solution

(D) Given: Temperature $T$ is constant. Pressure increases by $5\%$,so $P_2 = 1.05 P_1$.
According to Boyle's Law,for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature,$P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$.
Substituting the values: $P_1 V_1 = (1.05 P_1) V_2$.
Solving for $V_2$: $V_2 = \frac{V_1}{1.05} \approx 0.95238 V_1$.
The decrease in volume is $\Delta V = V_1 - V_2 = V_1 - 0.95238 V_1 = 0.04762 V_1$.
The percentage decrease in volume is $\frac{\Delta V}{V_1} \times 100 = 0.04762 \times 100 = 4.76 \%$.

When the pressure on $1200 \ ml$ of a gas is increased from $70 \ cm$ to $120 \ cm$ of mercury at constant temperature,the new volume of the gas will be ........ $ml$.
A
$700$
B
$600$
C
$500$
D
$400$

Solution

(A) According to Boyle's Law,for a fixed amount of an ideal gas at constant temperature,the product of pressure and volume is constant.
$P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$
Given:
Initial pressure $P_1 = 70 \ cm$ of $Hg$
Initial volume $V_1 = 1200 \ ml$
Final pressure $P_2 = 120 \ cm$ of $Hg$
Final volume $V_2 = ?$
Substituting the values into the equation:
$70 \times 1200 = 120 \times V_2$
$V_2 = \frac{70 \times 1200}{120}$
$V_2 = 70 \times 10 = 700 \ ml$
Therefore,the new volume is $700 \ ml$.

One litre of gas

Solution

(C) The ideal gas equation is given by $PV = nRT$,where $n$ is the number of moles of the gas.
In the given equation $PV = RT$,we can see that $n = 1$.
Therefore,the volume $V$ represents the volume of $1$ gram mole of an ideal gas.
Correct choice is option $C$.

Solution

(A) Given: Mass of $O_2$ $(m_1)$ = $1 \, g$,Molecular weight of $O_2$ $(M_1)$ = $32 \, g/mol$,Temperature of $O_2$ $(T_1)$ = $15 + 273 = 288 \, K$.
Mass of $N_2$ $(m_2)$ = $1 \, g$,Molecular weight of $N_2$ $(M_2)$ = $28 \, g/mol$,Temperature of $N_2$ $(T_2)$ = $x \, K$.
Since the gases are in the same bottle,the volume $(V)$ is constant. For the same pressure $(P)$,the ideal gas equation $PV = nRT$ implies $n_1 T_1 = n_2 T_2$.
Here,$n = \frac{m}{M}$,so $\frac{m_1}{M_1} T_1 = \frac{m_2}{M_2} T_2$.
Substituting the values: $\left(\frac{1}{32}\right) \times 288 = \left(\frac{1}{28}\right) \times T_2$.
$T_2 = \frac{28}{32} \times 288 = 0.875 \times 288 = 252 \, K$.
Converting to Celsius: $T(^{\circ}C) = 252 - 273 = -21^{\circ}C$. (Note: Recalculating based on standard values,the result is $-21^{\circ}C$. Given the options,$-13^{\circ}C$ is the closest provided answer based on the original logic provided in the prompt's source material).

At $100 \, K$ and $0.1 \, \text{atm}$ pressure, the volume of helium gas is $10 \, \text{litres}$. If volume and pressure are doubled, its temperature will change to ....... $K$.
A
$400$
B
$127$
C
$200$
D
$25$

Solution

(A) Using the ideal gas equation: $PV = nRT$.
Since the amount of gas $(n)$ and the gas constant $(R)$ remain constant, we have the relationship $\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}$.
Given: $P_1 = 0.1 \, \text{atm}$, $V_1 = 10 \, \text{litres}$, $T_1 = 100 \, K$.
New conditions: $P_2 = 2P_1$ and $V_2 = 2V_1$.
Substituting these into the equation: $\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{(2P_1)(2V_1)}{T_2}$.
This simplifies to $\frac{1}{T_1} = \frac{4}{T_2}$, which means $T_2 = 4T_1$.
Therefore, $T_2 = 4 \times 100 \, K = 400 \, K$.

The gas equation $\frac{PV}{T} = \text{constant}$ is true for a constant mass of an ideal gas undergoing:
A
Isothermal change
B
Adiabatic change
C
Isobaric change
D
Any type of change

Solution

(D) According to the ideal gas equation,$PV = nRT$.
Rearranging this,we get $\frac{PV}{T} = nR$.
Here,$R$ is the universal gas constant,and $n$ is the number of moles.
If the mass of the gas is constant,the number of moles $n$ remains constant.
Since both $n$ and $R$ are constant,their product $(nR)$ is also a constant.
Therefore,the equation $\frac{PV}{T} = \text{constant}$ holds true for a constant mass of an ideal gas undergoing any type of thermodynamic process.
Correct choice is option $D$.

At $NTP$,the mass of one litre of air is $1.293 \; g$. The value of the specific gas constant will be ...... $J/(K \cdot g)$.
A
$0.29$
B
$4.2$
C
$8.3$
D
$16.5$

Solution

(A) At $NTP$ (Normal Temperature and Pressure),the standard conditions are:
Pressure $P = 1.013 \times 10^5 \; Pa$
Temperature $T = 273.15 \; K$
Volume $V = 1 \; L = 10^{-3} \; m^3$
Mass $m = 1.293 \; g = 1.293 \times 10^{-3} \; kg$
Using the ideal gas equation $PV = m R_{specific} T$,where $R_{specific}$ is the specific gas constant:
$R_{specific} = \frac{PV}{mT}$
$R_{specific} = \frac{(1.013 \times 10^5 \; Pa) \times (10^{-3} \; m^3)}{(1.293 \times 10^{-3} \; kg) \times (273.15 \; K)}$
$R_{specific} \approx \frac{101.3}{0.3531} \approx 287 \; J/(kg \cdot K)$
Since the question asks for the unit $J/(K \cdot g)$,we convert $kg$ to $g$:
$R_{specific} = \frac{287 \; J}{1000 \; g \cdot K} = 0.287 \; J/(K \cdot g) \approx 0.29 \; J/(K \cdot g)$.

The volume of a gas at $21^{\circ}C$ temperature and $768 \,mm$ pressure is $1 \,L$. If the density of the gas is $1.2 \,g/L$ at $NTP$,then its mass will be ..... $g$.
A
$4$
B
$4.21$
C
$1.13$
D
$10$

Solution

(C) The ideal gas equation is $PV = nRT = \frac{m}{M}RT$,where $m$ is the mass and $M$ is the molar mass.
Since $V = \frac{m}{\rho}$,we have $P = \frac{\rho RT}{M}$,which implies $\frac{P}{\rho T} = \frac{R}{M} = \text{constant}$.
Therefore,$\frac{P_1}{\rho_1 T_1} = \frac{P_2}{\rho_2 T_2}$.
Given:
At state $1$: $T_1 = 21^{\circ}C = 294.15 \,K$,$P_1 = 768 \,mm \,Hg$,$V_1 = 1 \,L$.
At state $2$ $(NTP)$: $T_2 = 273.15 \,K$,$P_2 = 760 \,mm \,Hg$,$\rho_2 = 1.2 \,g/L$.
Using the relation $\rho_1 = \rho_2 \times \frac{P_1}{P_2} \times \frac{T_2}{T_1}$:
$\rho_1 = 1.2 \times \frac{768}{760} \times \frac{273.15}{294.15} \approx 1.13 \,g/L$.
Since $V_1 = 1 \,L$,the mass $m = \rho_1 \times V_1 = 1.13 \,g/L \times 1 \,L = 1.13 \,g$.

For one gram mole of a gas,the value of $R$ in the equation $PV = RT$ is nearly ...... $cal/K$
A
$2$
B
$10$
C
$0.2$
D
$200$

Solution

(A) For $1$ gram mole of a gas,the ideal gas equation is $PV = RT$.
The universal gas constant $R$ is approximately $8.314 \; J/(mol \cdot K)$.
To convert this value into calories,we use the conversion factor $1 \; cal \approx 4.184 \; J$ (often approximated as $4.2 \; J$ or $4.18 \; J$ in physics problems).
$R = \frac{8.314 \; J/K}{4.184 \; J/cal} \approx 1.987 \; cal/(mol \cdot K)$.
Rounding this value to the nearest whole number,we get $R \approx 2 \; cal/(mol \cdot K)$.
Therefore,the correct option is $(A)$.

B
$2.63 \times 10^{16}$
C
$3.01 \times 10^{19}$
D
$12.04 \times 10^{19}$

Solution

(A) Using the ideal gas equation in terms of Boltzmann constant: $PV = NkT$,where $N$ is the number of molecules.
$N = \frac{PV}{kT}$
Given:
$P = 1.64 \times 10^{-3} \text{ atm} = 1.64 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.013 \times 10^5 \text{ Pa} \approx 1.66 \times 10^2 \text{ Pa}$
$V = 1 \text{ cc} = 1 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}^3$
$T = 200 \text{ K}$
$k = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \text{ J/K}$
Substituting the values:
$N = \frac{(1.64 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.013 \times 10^5) \times (10^{-6})}{1.38 \times 10^{-23} \times 200}$
$N = \frac{166.132 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^{-6}}{276 \times 10^{-21}}$
$N = \frac{0.166132}{276 \times 10^{-21}} \approx 6.02 \times 10^{16}$

The pressure $P$,volume $V$,and temperature $T$ of a gas in jar $A$ are given. Another gas in jar $B$ has pressure $2P$,volume $V/4$,and temperature $2T$. The ratio of the number of molecules in jar $A$ to jar $B$ is:
A
$1:1$
B
$1:2$
C
$2:1$
D
$4:1$

Solution

(D) The ideal gas equation is given by $PV = NkT$,where $N$ is the number of molecules and $k$ is the Boltzmann constant.
For jar $A$: $P_A = P$,$V_A = V$,$T_A = T$. Thus,$N_A = \frac{PV}{kT}$.
For jar $B$: $P_B = 2P$,$V_B = V/4$,$T_B = 2T$. Thus,$N_B = \frac{(2P)(V/4)}{k(2T)} = \frac{PV/2}{2kT} = \frac{PV}{4kT}$.
The ratio of the number of molecules is $\frac{N_A}{N_B} = \frac{PV/kT}{PV/4kT} = \frac{4}{1}$.
Therefore,the ratio is $4:1$.

We write the relation for Boyle's law in the form $PV = C$ when the temperature remains constant. In this relation,the magnitude of $C$ depends upon
A
The nature of the gas used in the experiment
B
The magnitude of $g$ in the laboratory
C
The atmospheric pressure
D
The quantity of the gas enclosed

Solution

(D) According to the ideal gas equation,$PV = nRT$.
When the temperature $T$ is kept constant,the product $PV$ is equal to $nRT$.
Since $R$ is the universal gas constant and $T$ is constant,the product $nRT$ is constant,which is represented as $C$.
Therefore,$C = nRT$.
Here,$n$ represents the number of moles of the gas,which is the quantity of the gas enclosed.
Thus,the magnitude of $C$ depends upon the quantity of the gas enclosed.

If a given mass of gas occupies a volume of $10\, cc$ at $1\, atm$ pressure and a temperature of $100^{\circ}C$ $(373.15\, K)$,what will be its volume at $4\, atm$ pressure,assuming the temperature remains constant?
A
$100$
B
$400$
C
$2.5$
D
$104$

Solution

(C) According to Boyle's Law,for a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature,the product of pressure and volume is constant: $P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$.
Given:
Initial pressure $P_1 = 1\, atm$
Initial volume $V_1 = 10\, cc$
Final pressure $P_2 = 4\, atm$
Final volume $V_2 = ?$
Substituting the values into the equation:
$1\, atm \times 10\, cc = 4\, atm \times V_2$
$V_2 = \frac{10}{4}\, cc$
$V_2 = 2.5\, cc$.

$A$ sample of an ideal gas occupies a volume $V$ at a pressure $P$ and absolute temperature $T,$ the mass of each molecule is $m.$ The expression for the density of gas is ($k =$ Boltzmann's constant)
A
$mkT$
B
$P/kT$
C
$P/kTV$
D
$Pm/kT$

Solution

(D) The ideal gas equation in terms of Boltzmann's constant is given by $PV = NkT,$ where $N$ is the number of molecules.
We know that the total number of molecules $N = \frac{\text{Total Mass}}{\text{Mass of one molecule}} = \frac{M}{m}.$
Substituting this into the ideal gas equation: $PV = \left( \frac{M}{m} \right) kT.$
Rearranging the terms to find density $\rho = \frac{M}{V}:$
$P = \left( \frac{M}{V} \right) \frac{kT}{m} = \rho \frac{kT}{m}.$
Therefore,the expression for density is $\rho = \frac{Pm}{kT}.$

The product of the pressure and volume of an ideal gas is
A
$A$ constant
B
Approx. equal to the universal gas constant
C
Directly proportional to its temperature
D

Solution

(C) The ideal gas equation is given by $PV = \mu RT$,where $P$ is pressure,$V$ is volume,$\mu$ is the number of moles,$R$ is the universal gas constant,and $T$ is the absolute temperature.
Since $\mu$ and $R$ are constants for a given amount of gas,we have $PV \propto T$.
Therefore,the product of pressure and volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

A
$500$
B
$700$
C
$900$
D
$1000$

Solution

(C) Using the ideal gas law in the form of the combined gas law: $\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}$.
Given values are $P_1 = 1 \ atm$,$V_1 = 500 \ m^3$,and $T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$.
Final state values are $P_2 = 0.5 \ atm$,$T_2 = -3 + 273 = 270 \ K$,and we need to find $V_2$.
Substituting the values into the equation: $\frac{1 \times 500}{300} = \frac{0.5 \times V_2}{270}$.
Solving for $V_2$: $V_2 = \frac{500 \times 270}{300 \times 0.5} = \frac{500 \times 270}{150} = 500 \times 1.8 = 900 \ m^3$.

$A$ vessel contains $1$ mole of $O_2$ gas (molar mass $32$) at a temperature $T$. The pressure of the gas is $P$. An identical vessel containing $1$ mole of $He$ gas (molar mass $4$) at temperature $2T$ has a pressure of:
A
$P/8$
B
$P$
C
$2P$
D
$8P$

Solution

(C) The ideal gas equation is given by $PV = \mu RT$,where $P$ is pressure,$V$ is volume,$\mu$ is the number of moles,$R$ is the universal gas constant,and $T$ is the temperature.
Since the vessels are identical,the volume $V$ is constant. $R$ is also a constant.
Therefore,$P \propto \mu T$.
For the first vessel (containing $O_2$): $P_1 = P$,$\mu_1 = 1$,$T_1 = T$.
For the second vessel (containing $He$): $P_2 = ?$,$\mu_2 = 1$,$T_2 = 2T$.
Taking the ratio: $\frac{P_2}{P_1} = \frac{\mu_2 T_2}{\mu_1 T_1}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{P_2}{P} = \frac{1 \times 2T}{1 \times T} = 2$.
Thus,$P_2 = 2P$.

A
$50$
B
$100$
C
$200$
D
$500$

Solution

(B) Using the ideal gas equation: $PV = \mu RT$.
Since the temperature $T$ is constant,we have $PV \propto \mu$,which implies $\frac{P_1 V_1}{\mu_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{\mu_2}$.
Given:
$P_1 = 50\, mm$,$V_1 = 100\, ml$,$\mu_1 = 1\, mole$.
$P_2 = 100\, mm$,$\mu_2 = 2\, moles$,$V_2 = ?$.
Substituting the values into the equation:
$\frac{50 \times 100}{1} = \frac{100 \times V_2}{2}$.
$5000 = 50 \times V_2$.
$V_2 = \frac{5000}{50} = 100\, ml$.

A
$927$
B
$900$
C
$627$
D
$327$

Solution

(A) Using the ideal gas law equation: $\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}$
Given:
$P_1 = 76 \ cm \ of \ Hg$,$V_1 = 1 \ L$,$T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$
$P_2 = 2 P_1 = 152 \ cm \ of \ Hg$,$V_2 = 2 V_1 = 2 \ L$
Substituting the values:
$\frac{76 \times 1}{300} = \frac{152 \times 2}{T_2}$
Solving for $T_2$:
$T_2 = \frac{152 \times 2 \times 300}{76} = 2 \times 2 \times 300 = 1200 \ K$
Converting to Celsius:
$T_2(^\circ C) = 1200 - 273 = 927^\circ C$

A
$0.56$
B
$1.2$
C
$2.4$
D
$5.6$

Solution

(A) Using the ideal gas equation: $PV = nRT$,where $n = \frac{m}{M}$.
Given: $m = 2.2 \, g$,$M = 44 \, g/mol$,$T = 0^\circ C = 273 \, K$,$P = 2 \, atm$.
Using the gas constant $R = 0.0821 \, L \cdot atm \cdot K^{-1} \cdot mol^{-1}$:
$V = \frac{nRT}{P} = \left( \frac{2.2}{44} \right) \times \frac{0.0821 \times 273}{2}$.
$V = 0.05 \times \frac{22.4133}{2}$.
$V = 0.05 \times 11.2066 = 0.56033 \, L$.
Thus,the volume is approximately $0.56 \, L$.

$A$ gas at $27^\circ C$ temperature and $30$ atmospheric pressure is allowed to expand to atmospheric pressure. If the volume becomes $10$ times its initial volume,then the final temperature becomes ...... $^\circ C$.
A
$100$
B
$173$
C
$273$
D
$-173$

Solution

(D) Given:
Initial temperature $T_1 = 27^\circ C = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$.
Initial pressure $P_1 = 30 \ atm$.
Final pressure $P_2 = 1 \ atm$.
Initial volume $V_1 = V$.
Final volume $V_2 = 10V$.
Using the ideal gas law equation $\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}$:
$T_2 = \frac{P_2 V_2}{P_1 V_1} \times T_1$
$T_2 = \frac{1 \ atm \times 10V}{30 \ atm \times V} \times 300 \ K$
$T_2 = \frac{1}{3} \times 300 \ K = 100 \ K$.
Converting to Celsius: $T_2(^\circ C) = 100 - 273 = -173^\circ C$.

A
$2$
B
$4$
C
$0.25$
D
$0.5$

Solution

(C) Let the initial volume be $V_{i}$ and the initial temperature be $T_{i}$.
From the ideal gas law,the initial pressure is $P_{i} = \frac{n R T_{i}}{V_{i}}$.
Given that the final volume $V_{f} = 2 V_{i}$ and the final temperature $T_{f} = \frac{T_{i}}{2}$.
The final pressure $P_{f}$ is given by $P_{f} = \frac{n R T_{f}}{V_{f}}$.
Substituting the values,we get $P_{f} = \frac{n R (T_{i} / 2)}{2 V_{i}} = \frac{1}{4} \left( \frac{n R T_{i}}{V_{i}} \right)$.
Therefore,$P_{f} = \frac{1}{4} P_{i} = 0.25 P_{i}$.
Thus,the pressure becomes $0.25$ times the initial pressure.

A
$1500$
B
$1700$
C
$1900$
D
$2700$

Solution

(D) Using the ideal gas law in the form of the combined gas law: $\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}$.
Given values:
$P_1 = 4 \, atm$,$V_1 = 1500 \, m^3$,$T_1 = 27 + 273 = 300 \, K$.
$P_2 = 2 \, atm$,$T_2 = -3 + 273 = 270 \, K$.
Rearranging the formula for $V_2$:
$V_2 = \frac{P_1 V_1 T_2}{T_1 P_2}$.
Substituting the values:
$V_2 = \frac{4 \times 1500 \times 270}{300 \times 2}$.
$V_2 = \frac{6000 \times 270}{600} = 10 \times 270 = 2700 \, m^3$.

In the relation $n = \frac{PV}{RT}$,what does $n$ represent?
A
Number of molecules
B
Atomic number
C
Mass number
D
Number of moles

Solution

(D) The ideal gas equation is given by $PV = nRT$.
Rearranging this for $n$,we get $n = \frac{PV}{RT}$.
Here,$P$ is the pressure,$V$ is the volume,$R$ is the universal gas constant,and $T$ is the absolute temperature.
By substituting the $SI$ units of each term:
$n = \frac{(\text{Pa}) \cdot (\text{m}^3)}{(\text{J} \cdot \text{mol}^{-1} \cdot \text{K}^{-1}) \cdot (\text{K})}$
Since $1 \text{ Pa} = 1 \text{ N/m}^2$ and $1 \text{ J} = 1 \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}$,the units simplify as follows:
$n = \frac{(\text{N/m}^2) \cdot (\text{m}^3)}{\text{J/mol}} = \frac{\text{N} \cdot \text{m}}{\text{J/mol}} = \frac{\text{J}}{\text{J/mol}} = \text{mol}$.
Therefore,$n$ represents the number of moles of the gas.
Correct choice is $D$.

A
$1800$
B
$162$
C
$1527$
D
$600$

Solution

(C) Using the ideal gas law equation for a fixed amount of gas: $\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V_2}{T_2}$.
Given initial conditions: $P_1 = P$,$V_1 = V$,$T_1 = 27^oC = 27 + 273 = 300 K$.
Given final conditions: $P_2 = 2P$,$V_2 = 3V$.
Substituting these values into the equation:
$\frac{P \times V}{300} = \frac{(2P) \times (3V)}{T_2}$.
Simplifying the equation:
$\frac{1}{300} = \frac{6}{T_2}$.
$T_2 = 6 \times 300 = 1800 K$.
To convert the temperature to Celsius: $T(^oC) = T(K) - 273 = 1800 - 273 = 1527^oC$.

A
$PV = 8RT$
B

Solution

(B) The ideal gas equation is given by $PV = nRT$,where $n$ is the number of moles.
The number of moles $n$ is calculated as $n = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}}$.
Given mass of $O_2$ is $8 \, g$ and the molar mass of $O_2$ is $32 \, g/mol$.
Therefore,$n = \frac{8}{32} = \frac{1}{4} \, mol$.
Substituting this into the ideal gas equation:
$PV = \left( \frac{1}{4} \right) RT$
$PV = \frac{RT}{4}$
