a) 1 : 1
b) 1 : 2
c) 2 : 1
d) 4 : 1

Answer: d

2. 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

Answer: d
Explanation: 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 the quantity of the gas enclosed

a) 100 cc
b) 400 cc
c) 2.5 cc
d) 104 cc

Answer: c
Explanation:

4. 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

Answer: d
Explanation: 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 Pm/kT

5. 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) Inversely proportional to its temperature

Answer: c
Explanation: The product of the pressure and volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature

b) P
c) 2P
d) 8P

Answer: c
Explanation:
q47

8. 1 mole of gas occupies a volume of 100 ml at 50 mm pressure. What is the volume occupied by two moles of gas at 100 mm pressure and at same temperature
a) 50 ml
b) 100 ml
c) 200 ml
d) 500 ml

Answer: b
Explanation:
q48

9. For ideal gas, which statement is not true
a) It obeys Boyle's law
b) It follows PV = RT
c) Internal energy depends on temperature only
d) It follows Vander-Waal's equation

Answer: d
Explanation: It follows Vander-Waal's equation - This statement is not true

10. A given mass of a gas is allowed to expand freely until its volume becomes double. If \[C_{b}\] and \[C_{a}\] are the velocities of sound in this gas before and after expansion respectively, then \[C_{a}\] is equal to
a) \[2C_{b}\]
b) \[\sqrt{2}C_{b}\]
c) \[C_{b}\]
d) \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}C_{b}\]

Answer: c
Explanation: A given mass of a gas is allowed to expand freely until its volume becomes double. If \[C_{b}\] and \[C_{a}\] are the velocities of sound in this gas before and after expansion respectively, then \[C_{a}\] is equal to \[C_{b}\]
