According to Boyle's law, the product of pressure and volume for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

According to Boyle's law, the product of pressure and volume for a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature is:
A. Constant
B. Depends on gas
C. Variable
D. Zero
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
PV = constant at constant T and n. This is Boyle's law. If either P or V changes, the other changes inversely.

Question #1
Acid rain can damage buildings made of marble because marble is:
A. Calcium silicate
B. Aluminium oxide
C. Magnesium oxide
D. Calcium carbonate

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Marble is primarily calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). It reacts with acid rain (containing H₂SO₄ and HNO₃) to form soluble salts, causing erosion: CaCO₃ + H₂SO₄ → CaSO₄ + H₂O + CO₂. This is why monuments like Taj Mahal are affected. CaCO₃ is basic, so it neutralizes acid. Restoration and pollution control are needed to protect heritage.

Question #2
The acid used in the pickling of metals to remove oxide layers is:
A. Acetic acid
B. Carbonic acid
C. Hydrochloric acid
D. Nitric acid

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is commonly used for pickling (cleaning) steel to remove rust and scale (iron oxides) before further processing like galvanizing or plating. Reaction: Fe₂O₃ + 6HCl → 2FeCl₃ + 3H₂O. Sulfuric acid is also used. Nitric acid is an oxidizer and would passivate some metals. Acetic acid is too weak.

Question #3
The depletion of the ozone layer is mainly caused by:
A. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
B. Methane
C. Sulphur dioxide
D. Carbon dioxide

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), used in refrigerants and aerosols, reach the stratosphere where UV radiation breaks them down, releasing chlorine atoms. These chlorine atoms catalytically destroy ozone (O₃) molecules, leading to the depletion of the ozone layer, particularly over Antarctica.
