A gas at 300 K occupies 2 L. If the temperature is raised to 600 K at constant pressure, the volume becomes: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A gas at 300 K occupies 2 L. If the temperature is raised to 600 K at constant pressure, the volume becomes:
A. 1 L
B. 4 L
C. 2 L
D. 6 L
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Charles' law: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂. V₂ = V₁ × T₂/T₁ = 2 L × 600 K / 300 K = 4 L. Volume doubles as absolute temperature doubles. Note: must use Kelvin, not Celsius. (600 K = 327°C). If mass and pressure are constant, volume is directly proportional to absolute temperature.

Ammonia gas is manufactured by the Haber process. The catalyst employed is:
A. Pt
B. Fe
C. V₂O₅
D. Ni

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Haber process: N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃, conditions: 400-450°C, 200 atm, finely divided iron with promoters (K₂O, Al₂O₃). Pt is used in Ostwald process for HNO₃; V₂O₅ in Contact process for H₂SO₄.

Question #2
Enzymes are affected by pH and temperature because they are:
A. Carbohydrates
B. Nucleic acids
C. Proteins
D. Lipids

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Enzymes are proteins with complex three-dimensional structures maintained by hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions. Extremes of pH or high temperature disrupt these bonds, causing denaturation (loss of structure and function). Each enzyme has an optimum pH and temperature. For example, pepsin works in acidic stomach, trypsin in alkaline intestine.

Question #3
According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its:
A. Temperature
B. Mass
C. Volume
D. Density

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Boyle's law: P ∝ 1/V or PV = constant at constant T and n. So if volume increases, pressure decreases. This is because gas molecules have more space and hit the walls less frequently. An example is a syringe: pulling the plunger increases volume, decreases pressure.
