Boyle's law is valid only when: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Boyle's law is valid only when:
A. Temperature and mass of gas are constant
B. Pressure and volume are constant
C. Only mass is constant
D. Only temperature is constant
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Boyle's law: P ∝ 1/V at constant temperature and for a fixed mass (number of moles) of gas. If T or n changes, the simple inverse relationship does not hold.

Question #1
Which of the following is the purest form of water?
A. Distilled water
B. Well water
C. Rainwater
D. River water

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Distilled water is considered the purest form of water because it is obtained by boiling water and condensing the steam, leaving almost all impurities, minerals, and salts behind. Rainwater is relatively pure but dissolves atmospheric gases and dust as it falls.

Question #2
Which of the following metals reacts with steam but not with cold water?
A. Magnesium
B. Sodium
C. Calcium
D. Potassium

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Magnesium reacts with hot water or steam to form MgO/Mg(OH)₂ and H₂, but very slowly with cold water (thin layer of insoluble hydroxide inhibits reaction). Sodium, potassium, and calcium react vigorously with cold water. Aluminium, zinc, iron react with steam but not cold water. Reactivity with water follows the series: K, Na, Ca (cold water); Mg, Al, Zn, Fe (steam).

Question #3
Which of the following is considered the cleanest fuel?
A. Wood
B. Hydrogen
C. Diesel
D. Coal

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Hydrogen is considered the cleanest fuel because its combustion produces only water (2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O) and no greenhouse gases or toxic pollutants. Coal, wood, and diesel produce CO₂, CO, SO₂, and particulate matter, contributing significantly to air pollution and global warming.
