The ideal gas equation PV = nRT can be derived by combining which three laws? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The ideal gas equation PV = nRT can be derived by combining which three laws?
A. Avogadro's, Dalton's, and Boyle's law
B. Boyle's, Graham's, and Dalton's law
C. Boyle's, Charles', and Avogadro's law
D. Charles', Graham's, and Gay-Lussac's law
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ideal gas equation: PV = nRT is obtained by combining Boyle's law (PV = constant at T,n), Charles' law (V ∝ T at P,n), and Avogadro's law (V ∝ n at P,T). Graham's law deals with diffusion, Dalton's with partial pressures. The constant R is the universal gas constant. For 1 mole, PV = RT. Real gases deviate at high pressure and low temperature.

Aqua regia is a mixture of:
A. HNO₃ and H₂SO₄
B. HF and HCl
C. HCl and H₂SO₄
D. HCl and HNO₃ in 3:1 ratio

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Aqua regia (royal water) is a 3:1 mixture of concentrated HCl and HNO₃. It can dissolve noble metals gold and platinum by forming complex ions. Freshly prepared, it is a fuming yellow liquid. Used in etching and cleaning.

Question #2
Which of the following contains ionic, covalent, and coordinate bonds?
A. CO₂
B. CH₄
C. NH₄Cl
D. NaCl

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) consists of NH₄⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. Ionic bond between NH₄⁺ and Cl⁻. Within NH₄⁺, N-H are covalent bonds, with one coordinate bond formed by donation of N's lone pair to H⁺. So all three bond types are present. NaCl purely ionic. CO₂ purely covalent. CH₄ purely covalent.

Question #3
Which gas will diffuse fastest under identical conditions?
A. N₂
B. O₂
C. CO₂
D. NH₃

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Rate of diffusion is inversely proportional to the square root of molar mass (Graham's law). Lighter gases diffuse faster. Molar masses: NH₃ = 17, N₂ = 28, O₂ = 32, CO₂ = 44 g/mol. Therefore NH₃ has the lowest molar mass and diffuses fastest. This law also explains why the smell of perfume spreads quickly. NH₃ is lighter than air and would rise.
