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. Halve
C. Become four times
D. Remain the same
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
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 discovery of the neutron was made by:
A. James Chadwick
B. John Dalton
C. Ernest Rutherford
D. J.J. Thomson

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932 by bombarding beryllium with alpha particles, which emitted a highly penetrating radiation consisting of neutral particles with mass similar to protons. Thomson discovered the electron, Rutherford the proton, and Dalton proposed the foundational atomic theory of matter.

Question #2
Assertion (A): The Montreal Protocol was signed to control the emission of CFCs. Reason (R): CFCs are responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer.
A. A is false but R is true.
B. A is true but R is false.
C. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
D. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The Montreal Protocol is an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production of numerous substances responsible for ozone depletion, most notably chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Both statements are correct, and R perfectly explains the purpose of the protocol.

Question #3
Assertion (A): Graphite is a good conductor of electricity. Reason (R): In graphite, each carbon atom uses three of its valence electrons to form covalent bonds, leaving one free delocalized electron.
A. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
B. A is true, but R is false
C. A is false, but R is true
D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Graphite has a layered structure where each carbon is sp² hybridized, forming three sigma bonds with neighboring carbons, leaving one unhybridized p orbital electron delocalized over the entire layer. These mobile electrons allow electrical conduction parallel to layers. Diamond, with all four electrons in covalent bonds, is an insulator. Both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason correctly explains the conductivity of graphite.
