    Which of the following scientists studied the relationship between the volume and temperature of    gas at constant pressure?

    • A. 

      Robert Boyle

    • B. 

      Jacques Charles

    • C. 

      Michael Faraday

    • D. 

      Gay - Lussac

    Correct Answer
    B. Jacques Charles
    Explanation
    Jacques Charles studied the relationship between the volume and temperature of gas at constant pressure. This relationship is known as Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is held constant. Charles conducted experiments in the late 18th century and discovered that as the temperature of a gas increases, its volume also increases, and vice versa. His work was instrumental in the development of the gas laws and our understanding of the behavior of gases.

      Charles' Law

    • C. 

      Gay - Lussac's Law

    • D. 

      Ideal Gas Law

    Correct Answer
    C. Gay - Lussac's Law
    Explanation
    Gay-Lussac's Law, also known as the pressure-temperature law, explains the mechanism of a pressure cooker. This law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, provided that the volume and amount of gas remain constant. In a pressure cooker, as the temperature increases, the pressure inside the cooker also increases. This increase in pressure allows the food to cook faster by raising the boiling point of water, resulting in faster cooking times.

    What will happen to the volume of a confined gas as the pressure increases if the temperature of the gas is kept constant?

    • A. 

      The volume increases

    • B. 

      The volume decreases

    • C. 

      The volume remains the same

    • D. 

      There is no significant change

    Correct Answer
    B. The volume decreases
    Explanation
    When the pressure of a confined gas is increased while keeping the temperature constant, the volume of the gas decreases. This can be explained by Boyle's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure at constant temperature. As the pressure increases, the gas particles are pushed closer together, resulting in a decrease in volume.

  • 5. 

    If a balloon full of warm air was placed in a refrigerator, the balloon would ______.

    • A. 

      Get larger

    • B. 

      Remains the same

    • C. 

      Get smaller

    • D. 

      Burst

    Correct Answer
    C. Get smaller
    Explanation
    When a balloon filled with warm air is placed in a refrigerator, the temperature inside the refrigerator is much colder than the temperature of the air inside the balloon. As a result, the air molecules inside the balloon lose heat energy and slow down, causing them to contract and occupy less space. This contraction leads to a decrease in the volume of the balloon, causing it to get smaller.

    A balloon filled with helium occupies 15 L at 400 K. What will be the volume of the helium balloon if the temperature of the helium is increased to 600 K? (Assume that the pressure is held constant)

    • A. 

      10 L

    • B. 

      22.5 L

    • C. 

      32.5 L

    • D. 

      50 L

    Correct Answer
    B. 22.5 L
    Explanation
    When the temperature of a gas is held constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. In this case, the temperature of the helium is increased from 400 K to 600 K. Since the volume is directly proportional to the temperature, the volume of the helium balloon will also increase. Therefore, the volume of the helium balloon will be 22.5 L.

    Gas molecules are trapped in the space below the piston. The piston can move up and down in the cylinder. The cylinder is resting on a hot plate. If the hot plate is turned on what would happen to the volume of the gas?

    • A. 

      The volume increases

    • B. 

      The volume decreases

    • C. 

      The volume remains the same

    • D. 

      There is no significant change

    Correct Answer
    A. The volume increases
    Explanation
    When the hot plate is turned on, it increases the temperature of the gas molecules trapped below the piston. As the temperature increases, the gas molecules gain more kinetic energy and move faster. This increased movement causes the gas molecules to collide more frequently and with greater force against the piston. The cumulative effect of these collisions leads to an increase in pressure exerted by the gas on the piston, causing it to move upwards. As the piston moves up, the volume of the gas increases, resulting in the volume of the gas increasing.

    • C. 

      Stay the same

    • D. 

      None of these

    Correct Answer
    B. Increase
    Explanation
    When the hot plate is turned on, the temperature of the gas inside the piston will increase. According to the ideal gas law, an increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure, assuming the volume and number of gas molecules remain constant. Therefore, the pressure of the gas will increase.

      The pressure decreases

    • C. 

      There is no significant change

    • D. 

      The gas pressure remains the same

    Correct Answer
    A. The pressure increases
    Explanation
    As the temperature of a gas increases, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules also increases. This causes the gas molecules to move faster and collide with the walls of the container more frequently and with greater force. The increased frequency and force of these collisions result in an increase in the gas pressure. Therefore, the correct answer is that the pressure increases.

    Rate this question:

  • 13.

    • C. 

      ​​​​​​Volume is inversely proportional to the pressure.

    • D. 

      ​​​​​​Volume is not affected by a change in pressure

    Correct Answer
    C. ​​​​​​Volume is inversely proportional to the pressure.
    Explanation
    The line graph shows that as pressure increases, volume decreases. This indicates an inverse relationship between pressure and volume. As pressure increases, the particles in the gas are compressed, resulting in a decrease in volume. Therefore, the correct answer is that volume is inversely proportional to the pressure.

      Volume of the gas decreases

    • D. 

      Volume of the gas cannot be determined

    Correct Answer
    A. Volume of the gas increases
    Explanation
    As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the gas particles also increases. This causes the gas particles to move faster and collide with each other and the container walls more frequently and with greater force. These collisions result in an increase in the volume of the gas sample. Therefore, the correct answer is that the volume of the gas increases.

    Rate this question:

  • 15.

    • C. 

      3 L

    • D. 

      4 L

    Correct Answer
    C. 3 L
    Explanation
    At constant pressure, according to Charles's Law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature. Therefore, as the temperature increases, the volume of the gas sample also increases. In this case, when the temperature is 150 K, the volume of the gas sample is 3 L.

    A gas sample occupies a volume of 100 mL at a pressure of 3.0 atm at 20.00C. What is the new pressure if the volume is increased to 150 mL at constant temperature?

    • A. 

      5.0 atm

    • B. 

      4.5 atm

    • C. 

      2.0 atm

    • D. 

      1.5 atm

    Correct Answer
    C. 2.0 atm
    Explanation
    When the volume of a gas sample is increased at constant temperature, according to Boyle's Law, the pressure of the gas will decrease. This is because the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional. In this case, the volume is increased from 100 mL to 150 mL, which means the pressure will decrease. The new pressure can be calculated using the formula P1V1 = P2V2, where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume. Plugging in the values, we get (3.0 atm)(100 mL) = (P2)(150 mL). Solving for P2 gives us a new pressure of 2.0 atm.

    • A. 

      Support your claim through equation.

    • B. 

      Ask two persons to hold a box filled with air

    • C. 

      Feel the weight of the samples on both hands

    • D. 

      Put a balloon on a balance which can measure up the nearest hundredths of a gram before and after you fill it with air

    Correct Answer
    D. Put a balloon on a balance which can measure up the nearest hundredths of a gram before and after you fill it with air
    Explanation
    By putting a balloon on a balance before and after filling it with air, you can measure the change in weight. If gases had significant mass, there would be a noticeable increase in weight when the balloon is filled with air. However, if there is no significant change in weight, it suggests that gases have negligible mass. This can be supported by the equation of mass, where the mass of an object is equal to the weight divided by the acceleration due to gravity. Since the weight of the balloon does not significantly change, it implies that the mass of the gas inside is negligible.

    A gas sample occupies a volume of 125 mL at a pressure of 720 torr at 20.00C. What is the new pressure if the volume is increased to 250 mL at the same temperature?

    • A. 

      1440 torr

    • B. 

      720 torrr

    • C. 

      360 torr

    • D. 

      375 torr

    Correct Answer
    C. 360 torr
    Explanation
    When the volume of a gas sample is increased while keeping the temperature constant, the pressure of the gas decreases. This relationship is described by Boyle's Law. According to Boyle's Law, the product of pressure and volume is constant at a constant temperature. In this case, the initial pressure is 720 torr and the initial volume is 125 mL. When the volume is increased to 250 mL, the new pressure can be calculated using the formula P1V1 = P2V2. Plugging in the values, we get (720 torr)(125 mL) = (P2)(250 mL). Solving for P2 gives us a new pressure of 360 torr.

    Which of the following would most likely happen when sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution and copper sulfate (CuSO4) are combined?

    • A. 

      Gas will evolve

    • B. 

      Precipitate will form

    • C. 

      Temperature will change

    • D. 

      No reaction

    Correct Answer
    B. Precipitate will form
    Explanation
    When sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution and copper sulfate (CuSO4) are combined, a precipitate will most likely form. This is because when NaOH reacts with CuSO4, a double displacement reaction occurs, resulting in the formation of solid copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) as a precipitate. This can be represented by the equation NaOH + CuSO4 → Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4. The formation of a precipitate indicates a chemical reaction has taken place between the two substances.

    • D. 

      2SO3   +. H2O —> 2 H2SO4

    Correct Answer
    A. SO3   +. H2O —> H2SO4
    Explanation
    The correct balanced chemical equation for the production of sulfuric acid is SO3 + H2O → H2SO4. This equation shows that when sulfur trioxide (SO3) reacts with water (H2O), it forms sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The equation is balanced because the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.

    Why does the rate of reaction increase when iron filings are used instead of iron nail in a reaction with hydrochloric acid?

    • A. 

      Iron filings act as a catalyst.

    • B. 

      Iron filings have higher density.

    • C. 

      Iron filings have higher surface area.

    • D. 

      Iron filings can increase the temperature of the reaction.

    Correct Answer
    C. Iron filings have higher surface area.
    Explanation
    Iron filings have a higher surface area compared to an iron nail. When iron filings are used in a reaction with hydrochloric acid, the increased surface area allows for more contact between the iron and the acid. This increased contact leads to a higher rate of reaction because more iron particles are exposed to the acid, resulting in more collisions between the reactants and therefore a faster reaction.

      D

    Correct Answer
    D. D
    Explanation
    Beaker D will have the fastest rate of reaction because the size of the iron fillings in each beaker is not specified. However, it can be assumed that the iron fillings in beaker D are smaller in size compared to the other beakers. Smaller iron fillings have a larger surface area, which allows for more frequent collisions with the reactant molecules. This increased surface area leads to a faster rate of reaction.

    Correct Answer
    C. I and III
    Explanation
    Increasing the temperature and using smaller marble chips would increase the rate of the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid and marble chips. When the temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the particles increases, leading to more frequent and energetic collisions between the acid and the marble chips. This increases the rate of reaction. Using smaller marble chips increases the surface area of the reactant, providing more sites for the acid to react with. This also increases the rate of reaction.

    • D. 

      II and IV

    Correct Answer
    D. II and IV
    Explanation
    Using larger marble chips would decrease the rate of the reaction because larger pieces of marble have a smaller surface area, which reduces the number of collisions between the acid and the marble chips. Decreasing the concentration of acid would also decrease the rate of the reaction because there would be fewer acid particles available to react with the marble chips. Therefore, changes II and IV would both decrease the rate of the reaction.

Which of the following pressure and temperature conditions could increase the yield of ammonia?

    • A. 

      Low temperature and low pressure

    • B. 

      High temperature and low pressure

    • C. 

      Low temperature and high pressure

    • D. 

      Both high temperature and pressure

    Correct Answer
    D. Both high temperature and pressure
    Explanation
    Increasing the temperature and pressure can increase the yield of ammonia because it helps to shift the equilibrium towards the formation of more ammonia. According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the temperature favors the endothermic reaction that produces ammonia, while increasing the pressure favors the reaction that reduces the volume of gas molecules, which in this case is the formation of ammonia. Therefore, both high temperature and pressure conditions can increase the yield of ammonia.
