If the volume of a gas is doubled at constant temperature, its pressure will: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

If the volume of a gas is doubled at constant temperature, its pressure will:
A. Double
B. Remain the same
C. Become four times
D. Halve
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
According to Boyle's Law (P₁V₁ = P₂V₂), pressure and volume are inversely proportional at constant temperature. If the volume is doubled (V₂ = 2V₁), the pressure must be halved (P₂ = P₁/2) to keep the product constant. This demonstrates the inverse relationship between P and V.

Question #1
The modern periodic table is based on the:
A. Density of the elements
B. Atomic number of the elements
C. Atomic mass of the elements
D. Number of neutrons

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The modern periodic law states that the physical and chemical properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers. This was proposed by Henry Moseley, correcting Mendeleev's periodic table which was based on atomic mass. Atomic number determines the electronic configuration and thus chemical properties.

Question #2
Hydrogen peroxide is used as an antiseptic because it:
A. Oxidizes bacterial cell components
B. Dehydrates cells
C. Reduces bacteria
D. Is a strong acid

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
H₂O₂ is a strong oxidizing agent that damages bacterial cell walls, membranes, and essential biomolecules through oxidation, killing microorganisms. It is used as a 3% solution for wound cleaning. The foaming action is due to catalase in tissues breaking it down, releasing O₂. It is not a reducing agent, acid, or dehydrating agent.

Question #3
Ozonation of water is preferred over chlorination because:
A. It is easier to transport.
B. It is cheaper.
C. It does not leave any harmful residual taste or toxic byproducts.
D. It removes hardness.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ozonation is a powerful disinfection method that kills bacteria and viruses faster than chlorine. Unlike chlorine, ozone decomposes back into oxygen and does not leave a residual taste or form harmful chlorinated organic byproducts (like trihalomethanes), making it safer for drinking water.
