According to Charles' law, at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

According to Charles' law, at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its:
A. Absolute temperature
B. Pressure
C. Temperature in Celsius
D. Density
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Charles' law: V ∝ T (Kelvin). So at constant P and n, V/T = constant. If temperature is in Celsius, proportionality is not direct because zero Celsius is not absolute zero. Absolute zero (0 K = -273.15°C) is the theoretical temperature at which volume becomes zero. A graph of V vs T (K) is a straight line through origin.

Question #1
Cement sets under water because of:
A. Evaporation
B. Hydration and hydrolysis of calcium silicates
C. Oxidation
D. Polymerization

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Cement sets by hydration reactions forming C-S-H gel and Ca(OH)₂, even underwater. It's a chemical process, not drying. Gypsum controls the setting rate.

Question #2
Sodium hydroxide is manufactured by the electrolysis of brine (NaCl solution). Which gas is produced at the anode?
A. Hydrogen
B. Nitrogen
C. Chlorine
D. Oxygen

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In chlor-alkali process (electrolysis of concentrated NaCl solution), Cl⁻ ions are oxidized at the anode: 2Cl⁻ → Cl₂(g) + 2e⁻ (chlorine gas). At the cathode, H₂O is reduced: 2H₂O + 2e⁻ → H₂(g) + 2OH⁻, producing hydrogen gas and leaving NaOH in solution. The process uses a diaphragm or membrane cell to keep products separate. Chlorine is used for water treatment and PVC.

Question #3
Graham's law relates rates of diffusion to:
A. Molar mass
B. Volume
C. Temperature
D. Pressure

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Rate ∝ 1/√(molar mass) at constant T and P. Lighter gases diffuse faster. This is Graham's law of diffusion/effusion.
