Gas Stoichiometry — Quiz

Question 9 • Chemistry

Under which conditions does the molar volume of a gas decrease?

Answer
A
at 273 cap k and at 2 point 0 atm
B
at 409 point 5 cap k and at 1 point 0 atm
C
at 546 cap k and at 2 point 0 atm
D
at 273 cap k and at 0 point 5 atm

Explanation

For a gas, molar volume is proportional to temperature divided by pressure: Vₘ ∝ T/P. Comparing each condition with 273 K and 1.0 atm, choice A gives 273/2.0, or half the reference molar volume. The other choices give 1.5, 1, and 2 times the reference volume, respectively, so the molar volume is smallest at 273 K and 2.0 atm.
