Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature, the pressure of a fixed mass of gas is:
A. Inversely proportional to its mass.
B. Directly proportional to its volume.
C. Inversely proportional to its volume.
D. Directly proportional to its mass.
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Boyle's Law states that for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume (P ∝ 1/V, or PV = constant). As volume decreases, gas molecules hit the container walls more frequently, increasing the pressure exerted by the gas.

Question #1
Which of the following metals reacts with cold water?
A. Silver
B. Sodium
C. Copper
D. Iron

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The reactivity of metals with water depends on their position in the reactivity series. Sodium and potassium are highly reactive alkali metals that react vigorously and exothermically with cold water to form hydroxides and hydrogen gas. Iron reacts only with steam, while copper and silver do not react with water.

Question #2
Which scientist proposed the 'Plum Pudding' model of the atom?
A. John Dalton
B. J.J. Thomson
C. Ernest Rutherford
D. Niels Bohr

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
J.J. Thomson proposed the 'Plum Pudding' model in 1904 after discovering the electron. He envisioned the atom as a sphere of positive charge with negatively charged electrons embedded within it, like plums in a pudding. This was later disproved by Rutherford's gold foil experiment.

Question #3
Which of the following rays has the maximum penetrating power?
A. Beta rays
B. X-rays
C. Gamma rays
D. Alpha rays

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Radioactive decay emits alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha particles are heavy and positively charged, stopped by paper. Beta particles are lighter, stopped by aluminum. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic photons with no mass or charge, giving them the highest penetrating power; they require thick lead or concrete to be significantly attenuated.
