Boyle's law relates which two variables at constant temperature? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Boyle's law relates which two variables at constant temperature?
A. Pressure and volume
B. Volume and temperature
C. Pressure and temperature
D. Number of moles and volume
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure: PV = constant. So P ∝ 1/V. Charles' law relates V and T at constant P. Gay-Lussac's law relates P and T at constant V. Boyle's law is used in syringes and scuba diving. Graph of P vs V is a hyperbola; P vs 1/V is a straight line.

Question #1
Teflon is a polymer of:
A. Tetrafluoroethene
B. Vinyl chloride
C. Styrene
D. Ethylene

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Teflon (PTFE) is an addition polymer of tetrafluoroethene (CF₂=CF₂). The polymer has a linear chain of –CF₂–CF₂– units with high C–F bond strength, making it chemically inert and heat resistant. PVC is polymer of vinyl chloride (CH₂=CHCl). Polyethylene comes from ethylene. Polystyrene from styrene. Teflon is used for non-stick coatings, electrical insulation, and chemical containers.

Question #2
The conversion of iron into steel involves the removal of impurities and the addition of:
A. Oxygen and hydrogen
B. Phosphorus only
C. Nitrogen and sulfur
D. Carbon and other alloying elements

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Steel is an alloy of iron with controlled amounts of carbon (0.02-2.1%) and often other elements like manganese, chromium, nickel, etc. Cast iron contains 2-4% carbon. In steelmaking (Bessemer, LD process), impurities like excess carbon, silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus are oxidized and removed, then desired carbon and alloying elements are added to achieve specific properties.

Question #3
According to Graham's law, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its:
A. Volume
B. Pressure
C. Density (or molar mass)
D. Temperature

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Graham's law: r ∝ 1/√M (molar mass). At same T,P, rate inversely proportional to square root of density. Lighter gases diffuse faster. Used in uranium enrichment (UF₆).
