A gas at STP occupies 22.4 L. If pressure is doubled and temperature is doubled, the volume becomes: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A gas at STP occupies 22.4 L. If pressure is doubled and temperature is doubled, the volume becomes:
A. 44.8 L
B. 11.2 L
C. 22.4 L
D. 5.6 L
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Combined gas law: P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂. Given P₂ = 2P₁, T₂ = 2T₁. So V₂ = V₁ × (P₁/P₂) × (T₂/T₁) = 22.4 × (1/2) × (2/1) = 22.4 L. Pressure increase tries to halve volume, temperature increase tries to double volume; they cancel out. So volume remains unchanged. This assumes ideal behavior.

Question #2
Which of the following methods is used to obtain pure copper from impure copper?
A. Smelting
B. Calcination
C. Roasting
D. Electrolytic refining

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In electrolytic refining, impure copper is the anode, pure copper is the cathode, and CuSO₄ acidified with H₂SO₄ is the electrolyte. Copper dissolves from anode and pure copper deposits on cathode. Smelting is reduction with coke.

Question #3
Urea is manufactured by reacting ammonia with:
A. Carbon dioxide
B. Hydrochloric acid
C. Nitric acid
D. Sulfuric acid

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Urea, CO(NH₂)₂, is produced from ammonia and carbon dioxide under high pressure (~200 atm) and temperature (~200°C): 2NH₃ + CO₂ → NH₄COONH₂ (ammonium carbamate) → (NH₂)₂CO + H₂O. It is the most concentrated nitrogenous solid fertilizer.
