Atomic Structure and Periodic Table
Solution
Which of the noble gases has the greatest ionization energy
A
He
B
Xe
C
Ar
D
Rr
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Ionization energy: The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom or molecule.
Trends down group :
Ionization energy decreases down the group.
This is due to the shielding or screen effect of the outer electrons from the nucleus.
The attraction is weaker and they are more easily removed.
Helium and radon both belong to group 8 which are called noble gases.
Helium (He) has the highest ionization energy and Radon (Rn) has the lowest ionization energy.

P1V1 = P2V2 supports ?
A
Charles’s law
B
Boyles’s law
C
Graham’s law
D
Avogadro’s law
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
V = 1/P
cross multiply
K = VP
V1P1 = V2V2
For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. Or Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship, when temperature is held constant.
The equations supports only Boyle’s law. Option A,C,D are not in support of the equation...

Stoichiometry & Mole Concept
Solution
A fixed mass of gas occupies 92cm3 at 3^\circC. What will be its volume at 18C if the pressure remains constant?
A
15.3cm3
B
87.3cm3
C
2.0cm3
D
97.0cm3
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
\(\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}\) = \(\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\)
\(T_{1}\) = 3 + 273 = 276K
\(T_{2}\) = 18 + 273 = 291K
\(V_{1}\) = \(92cm^{3}\)
\(V_{2}\) = ?
\(V_{2}\) = \(\frac{V_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}}\)
=\(\frac{92 \times 291}{276}\)
= \(97.0cm^{3}\)
