A gas at constant temperature expands from 10 L to 20 L. What happens to its pressure? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A gas at constant temperature expands from 10 L to 20 L. What happens to its pressure?
A. Doubles
B. Remains same
C. Halves
D. Becomes zero
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Boyle's law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂. So P₂ = P₁(V₁/V₂) = P₁(10/20) = P₁/2. Pressure is halved. If volume doubles, pressure halves, assuming constant temperature and amount. This is an inverse relationship.

Question #1
The compound containing a coordinate covalent bond is:
A. NH₄⁺
B. H₂O
C. NaCl
D. CH₄

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ammonium ion (NH₄⁺) is formed when NH₃ donates its lone pair to H⁺, forming a coordinate (dative) bond. CH₄ and H₂O have ordinary covalent bonds; NaCl is ionic. In NH₄⁺, all four N–H bonds become equivalent.

Question #2
Which of the following is the strongest oxidizing agent based on standard reduction potentials?
A. Li+ (E° = -3.05 V)
B. Zn2+ (E° = -0.76 V)
C. F2 (E° = +2.87 V)
D. Cu2+ (E° = +0.34 V)

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The standard reduction potential (E°) indicates the tendency of a species to gain electrons. A higher positive E° value means a greater tendency to be reduced, making it a stronger oxidizing agent. Fluorine (F2) has the highest standard reduction potential (+2.87 V), making it the strongest oxidizing agent among the choices.

Question #3
The impurities present in an ore are known as:
A. Gangue
B. Matrix
C. Flux
D. Slag

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The unwanted earthy or sandy impurities present in an ore are called gangue (or matrix). Flux is added during smelting to react with these impurities, and the resulting fused mass is called slag, which is lighter and floats on top of the molten metal for easy removal.
