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. Inversely proportional to its volume.
C. Directly proportional to its volume.
D. Directly proportional to its mass.
Answer: Option B
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
The salt formed from strong acid and weak base is:
A. NH₄Cl
B. NaCl
C. CH₃COONa
D. K₂SO₄

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
NH₄Cl is from HCl (strong) and NH₄OH (weak). Its aqueous solution is acidic due to hydrolysis of NH₄⁺. NaCl is neutral (strong-strong). CH₃COONa basic (weak-strong).

Question #2
Which of the following will cause an increase in the rate of evaporation of a liquid?
A. Decrease in wind speed
B. Decrease in temperature
C. Increase in humidity
D. Increase in surface area

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Evaporation increases with an increase in surface area, temperature, and wind speed, and decreases with an increase in humidity. A larger surface area allows more liquid molecules to be exposed to the air, enabling them to escape into the vapor phase more quickly, thus increasing the rate of evaporation.

Question #3
Assertion (A): Leguminous plants do not require nitrogenous fertilizers. Reason (R): They have Rhizobium bacteria in their root nodules that fix atmospheric nitrogen.
A. A is true but R is false.
B. A is false but R is true.
C. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Leguminous plants (like peas, beans) have a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria in their root nodules. These bacteria convert atmospheric N₂ into usable nitrogen compounds, fulfilling the plant's nitrogen needs. Thus, they generally do not need external nitrogenous fertilizers. Both statements are correct and R explains A.
