Q. In the van der Waals equation, what do the 'a' and 'b' constants represent?
A.
Attraction and volume correction
B.
Pressure and temperature
C.
Density and molar mass
D.
Entropy and enthalpy
Solution
'a' accounts for the attractive forces between particles, while 'b' accounts for the volume occupied by the gas particles in the van der Waals equation.
Correct Answer:
A
— Attraction and volume correction
Q. What is the effect of increasing temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction according to the Arrhenius equation?
A.
Rate decreases
B.
Rate remains constant
C.
Rate increases exponentially
D.
Rate increases linearly
Solution
According to the Arrhenius equation, an increase in temperature results in an exponential increase in the rate constant, thus increasing the reaction rate.
Q. What is the relationship between pressure and volume for an ideal gas at constant temperature?
A.
Boyle's Law
B.
Charles's Law
C.
Avogadro's Law
D.
Graham's Law
Solution
Boyle's Law states that for a given mass of gas at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume (P1V1 = P2V2).
Q. Which principle explains the behavior of gases in terms of molecular motion?
A.
Kinetic Molecular Theory
B.
Le Chatelier's Principle
C.
Raoult's Law
D.
Hess's Law
Solution
The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains gas behavior by describing how gas particles are in constant motion and how this motion relates to temperature and pressure.
