Free Boyle's Law MCQs with Answers

26 Boyle's Law MCQs from Chemistry, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a fixed mass of gas varies inversely with its volume when temperature remains constant. Problems use the relationship P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, pressure-volume graphs and volume changes, with constant temperature distinguishing it from Charles's law.

Explanation: PV=nRT is the overall ideal gas equation derived from Boyle's and Charle's law.

Correct answer: Inversely proportional
  • A. Variable
  • B. Constant
  • C. Discrete
  • D. Decreasing

Explanation: According to Boyle's law, the pressure of a fixed amount of gas varies inversely with its volume, the temperature is maintained…

Correct answer: Constant
  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation: Boyles law states that at a fixed temperature, the volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas.

Correct answer: Option B
  • A. Kept constant
  • B. Zero
  • C. Variable
  • D. None of the above

Explanation: Its is kept constant. Imagine you have a balloon filled with gas. If you keep the temperature and the amount of gas inside the balloon…

Correct answer: Kept constant
  • A. 1/2
  • B. 2x
  • C. 4x
  • D. 1/4

Explanation: Option B is correct. When the pressure of an ideal gas is reduced to half at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas will double.

Correct answer: 2x
