Q. If the RMS speed of a gas is 500 m/s, what is the speed of the gas molecules in terms of average speed?
A.
500 m/s
B.
250 m/s
C.
400 m/s
D.
600 m/s
Solution
The average speed of gas molecules is related to the RMS speed by the relation v_avg = (v_rms * sqrt(8/3)). Therefore, the average speed is approximately 400 m/s.
Q. If the temperature of a gas is doubled at constant volume, what happens to the pressure?
A.
It doubles
B.
It halves
C.
It remains the same
D.
It quadruples
Solution
According to Gay-Lussac's Law, if the temperature of a gas is increased while keeping the volume constant, the pressure will also increase proportionally, thus it doubles.
Q. If the temperature of an ideal gas is doubled at constant volume, what happens to the pressure?
A.
It remains the same
B.
It doubles
C.
It triples
D.
It quadruples
Solution
According to Gay-Lussac's law, at constant volume, the pressure of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. Therefore, if the temperature is doubled, the pressure also doubles.
Q. If the temperature of an ideal gas is doubled at constant volume, what happens to the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules?
A.
It remains the same.
B.
It doubles.
C.
It triples.
D.
It halves.
Solution
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. Therefore, if the temperature is doubled, the average kinetic energy also doubles.
Q. If the temperature of an ideal gas is doubled while keeping the volume constant, what happens to the pressure?
A.
It remains the same.
B.
It doubles.
C.
It triples.
D.
It halves.
Solution
According to Gay-Lussac's law, if the volume is constant, the pressure of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. Therefore, doubling the temperature doubles the pressure.
Q. In a gas mixture, which law can be used to find the total pressure exerted by the gases?
A.
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
B.
Boyle's Law
C.
Charles's Law
D.
Ideal Gas Law
Solution
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures states that the total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each gas.
Correct Answer:
A
— Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures
Q. In a gas, the mean free path is defined as the average distance traveled by a molecule between collisions. Which factor does NOT affect the mean free path?
A.
Temperature
B.
Pressure
C.
Molecular diameter
D.
Color of the gas
Solution
The mean free path is affected by temperature, pressure, and molecular diameter, but not by the color of the gas.
Q. In an ideal gas, the average kinetic energy of a molecule is directly proportional to which of the following?
A.
Pressure
B.
Volume
C.
Temperature
D.
Number of molecules
Solution
The average kinetic energy of a molecule in an ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas, given by the formula KE_avg = (3/2)kT.
