The relationship between volume and temperature for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure was given by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The relationship between volume and temperature for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure was given by:
A. Gay-Lussac
B. Boyle
C. Avogadro
D. Charles
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Jacques Charles formulated the law: V ∝ T at constant P. Hence Charles' law. Gay-Lussac's law relates pressure and temperature at constant volume. Boyle's law: pressure-volume at constant temperature. Avogadro's law: volume-moles at same T & P. Charles also was a pioneer in ballooning.

Question #1
Ozone layer depletion is mainly caused by:
A. Ammonia
B. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
C. Sulphur dioxide
D. Carbon monoxide

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
CFCs release chlorine atoms under UV radiation in the stratosphere, which catalytically destroy ozone molecules. CO causes smog and is poisonous, SO₂ causes acid rain, ammonia is not a major ozone depleter. The Montreal Protocol phased out CFCs to protect the ozone layer.

Question #2
Detergents are preferred over soaps in hard water because they:
A. Contain more carbon
B. Are cheaper
C. Form soluble calcium and magnesium salts
D. Are natural

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Detergents (e.g., sulfonates) do not precipitate with Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺, so they lather well in hard water. Soaps form insoluble scum. This is a major advantage.

Question #3
The reactivity series lists metals in the order of:
A. Increasing atomic mass
B. Decreasing reactivity
C. Decreasing tendency to lose electrons
D. Increasing density

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The reactivity series arranges metals from most reactive (K) to least reactive (Au). A metal higher in the series can displace a lower one from its salt solution. The order is based on tendency to lose electrons (form positive ions). More reactive = more electropositive.
