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. Halve
D. Become four times
Answer: Option C
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 metal used in the manufacture of stainless steel is:
A. Lead
B. Chromium
C. Copper
D. Zinc

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Stainless steel is an iron alloy containing at least 10.5% chromium, which provides corrosion resistance by forming a passive chromium oxide layer. Nickel and molybdenum may also be added. Copper and zinc are components of brass. Lead is used in batteries and solder. Chromium is essential for 'stainless' property.

Question #2
The valency of aluminium in Al₂O₃ is:
A. 4
B. 1
C. 3
D. 2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Aluminium oxide: Al³⁺ and O²⁻. To balance charges, 2 Al³⁺ (total +6) combine with 3 O²⁻ (total -6). Thus valency of Al is 3. It loses three electrons. Formula determined by criss-cross method.

Question #3
Enzymes are biological catalysts. Which statement about them is correct?
A. They are consumed during the reaction.
B. They work optimally at very high temperatures.
C. They are highly specific in their action.
D. They are inorganic compounds.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts, exhibiting high specificity for substrates (lock-and-key model). They are not consumed, denature at high temperatures, and are organic. Examples: amylase for starch, pepsin for proteins.
