The rate of effusion of two gases A and B are equal. Which is true? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The rate of effusion of two gases A and B are equal. Which is true?
A. Molar mass of A = Molar mass of B
B. Pressure must be different
C. They are the same gas
D. Temperature must be different
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Graham's law: r ∝ 1/√M. If rA = rB, then MA = MB (at same T,P). Different gases can have same molar mass (e.g., N₂ and CO both 28).

Question #1
Boyle's law is valid only when:
A. Only mass is constant
B. Pressure and volume are constant
C. Only temperature is constant
D. Temperature and mass of gas are constant

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Boyle's law: P ∝ 1/V at constant temperature and for a fixed mass (number of moles) of gas. If T or n changes, the simple inverse relationship does not hold.

Question #2
Which of the following is used as an antacid?
A. Ammonium chloride
B. Sodium bicarbonate
C. Sodium chloride
D. Calcium sulfate

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), baking soda, is a mild base that neutralizes excess stomach acid (HCl) providing relief from acidity. Reaction: NaHCO₃ + HCl → NaCl + H₂O + CO₂. It is a component of many antacid formulations. Sodium chloride is table salt, ammonium chloride is not safe, and calcium sulfate is plaster of Paris ingredient. Milk of magnesia (Mg(OH)₂) is also an antacid.

Question #3
The number of atoms in a molecule of phosphorus (P₄) is:
A. 4
B. 2
C. 1
D. 8

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
White phosphorus exists as P₄ tetrahedral molecules, containing 4 phosphorus atoms. So atomicity is 4. Sulfur is S₈, oxygen is O₂, ozone O₃. Atomicity is the number of atoms in a molecule of an element. Phosphorus is a non-metal. Red phosphorus is polymeric but P₄ is the common molecular form.
