Self-test for matter: Gas
Choose the correct answer for each question.
 

1. Which of the following quantities is not a measurable macroscopic property of a gas?
Pressure
Volume
Temperature
Amount of gas
Kinetic energy

2. Which of the following expressions for the ideal gas law is correct?
(P = Pressure, T = Temperature, V = Volume)
PT / V =constant
PV / T = constant
VT / P = constant
P / TV = constant
TPV = constant

3. Which of the following equations is INCORRECT?
(P = Pressure, V = Volume, T = Temperature, k = universal gas constant per molecule,
n = number of moles, N = total number of molecules, Na = Avogadro number, R = universal gas constant = molar gas constant)
PV = nRT
PV = NkT
PV = (N/Na)RT
PV = (Na)RT
PV = nk(Na)T

4. When the temperture is kept constant and the volume of the gas is reduced, then the pressure of the gas will
increase
decrease
remain unchanged
cannot be determined
first decrease, then return to the original value
