Solutions | Physical Chemistry | GPAT Mock Test

Welcome to the GPAT Mock Test on Solutions! This quiz is expertly designed to help you master the fundamental concepts of Physical Chemistry, a critical section of the GPAT syllabus. It covers a comprehensive range of topics, including solubility principles, factors affecting it like cosolvency and pH, different types of solutions, Henry’s Law, Critical Solution Temperature, and the Nernst Partition Law. You will also be tested on various methods of expressing concentration and related calculations such as Molarity, Molality, and Mole Fraction. This test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions to rigorously evaluate your understanding. After submitting your answers, you can review your score and download all questions with the correct answers in a PDF format for future revision. Good luck!
