A gas at 2 atm pressure occupies 5 L. What is its volume if pressure is increased to 5 atm at constant temperature? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A gas at 2 atm pressure occupies 5 L. What is its volume if pressure is increased to 5 atm at constant temperature?
A. 12.5 L
B. 2 L
C. 1 L
D. 10 L
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Boyle's law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂ → V₂ = P₁V₁/P₂ = (2 atm × 5 L)/5 atm = 2 L. Pressure increased, so volume decreases.

The process of destructive distillation of coal yields:
A. Coke, coal tar, and coal gas
B. Petrol and diesel
C. Graphite
D. Only methane

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Heating coal in the absence of air (destructive distillation) produces coke (solid residue, high carbon), coal tar (mixture of aromatic compounds), ammoniacal liquor, and coal gas (H₂, CH₄, CO). Coke is used in blast furnace. Coal tar is a source of aromatic chemicals and pitch. Coal gas was used for lighting historically.

Question #3
Which of the following is an organic fertilizer?
A. Urea
B. Superphosphate
C. Compost
D. Ammonium nitrate

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Compost is decomposed organic matter (plant waste, manure) and is an organic fertilizer. Urea, though organic compound, is considered a synthetic nitrogenous fertilizer when industrially produced. Organic fertilizers are derived from natural sources: manure, bone meal, compost. They improve soil structure. Ammonium nitrate, superphosphate are inorganic/synthetic. Urea is often categorized as synthetic organic.
