According to Boyle's law, the product of pressure and volume for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

According to Boyle's law, the product of pressure and volume for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature is:
A. Constant
B. Zero
C. Variable
D. Depends on gas
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
PV = constant at constant T and n. This is Boyle's law. If either P or V changes, the other changes inversely.

Question #1
Radioactive decay follows:
A. Pseudo-first order
B. Second-order kinetics
C. First-order kinetics
D. Zero-order kinetics

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Radioactive decay is a first-order process because the rate of decay is proportional to the number of radioactive nuclei present. Half-life is constant, independent of initial amount.

Question #2
Soap is not suitable for washing in hard water because it forms:
A. Micelles
B. Insoluble calcium and magnesium salts (scum)
C. Soluble sodium salts
D. Foam

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Soap (sodium carboxylate) reacts with Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions present in hard water to form an insoluble precipitate known as scum. This reduces lathering and wastage of soap. Synthetic detergents do not form scum because their calcium/magnesium salts are soluble.

Question #3
Mendeleev predicted the existence of an element 'eka-silicon', later discovered and named:
A. Germanium
B. Scandium
C. Arsenic
D. Gallium

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Mendeleev left gaps and predicted properties of eka-boron (scandium), eka-aluminium (gallium), and eka-silicon (germanium). Germanium was discovered in 1886, its properties matched predictions, confirming the periodic law.
