Question 41. Carbon dioxide is used to extinguish fire.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Nitrogen
  4.    Argon
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are being used extensively. When sprayed, it forms a layer on the fire thereby cutting off the supply of oxygen. Carbon dioxide also spreads very fast and helps in the cooling of the combustible substance. By reducing the heat and cutting off oxygen supply it extinguishes the fire.
Question 42. Identify the gas which is - odourless, colourless and supports combustion.
  1.    Oxygen
  2.    Carbon dioxide
  3.    Nitrogen
  4.    Argon
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Oxygen
:
A
Oxygen is the colourless, odourless gas which supports combustion. Rest of the gases given here don't support combustion.
Question 43. Which of the following explains the energy conversion in a windmill?
  1.    Electrical energy → Wind energy
  2.    Electrical energy → Heat energy
  3.    Wind energy → Electrical energy
  4.    Electrical energy → Sound energy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Wind energy → Electrical energy
:
C
In a windmill, wind energy is converted to electrical energy. Windmills are used to generate electricity, draw water from tubewells and run flour mills.Which Of The Following Explains The Energy Conversion In A W...

(a) Respiration in animals and plants
(b) Sailing of boats, airplanes
(c) Burning of any substance
(d) Photosynthesis in plants
(e) Power generation from wind mills
Question 45. Choose the odd one out. Give reason for the same. [1 MARK]
rustling of leaves, flying of kite, making tea
 Discuss Question

:
Making tea.
Rustling of leaves and flying of kite needair whereas making of tea has nothing to do with moving air.
Question 46. Suggest three measures to prevent air pollution. [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
1Mark each
Air pollution can be prevented as follows:
(i) By using smokeless sources of energy like solar energy and electrical energy.
(ii) By using filters for the smoke coming out of the chimneys of factories and power plants.
(iii) By using internal combustion engines in vehicles for complete and efficient burning of fuel.
Question 47. What is rust? What are the two conditions of rusting? [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Definition : 1Mark
Conditions: 2 Marks
Rusting is the process in which iron slowly reacts with oxygen in the air in the presence of moisture to form a flaky brown substance called rust.
The two most important conditions of rusting are:
(i) Presence of oxygen (air)
(ii) Presence of moisture
Question 48. Which gas is used by living organisms for respiration? Where do they get it from? [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Name of the gas: 1Mark
Source:1Mark
Living organisms require oxygen for respiration.
They get oxygen from the atmosphere. The envelope of air around us is called atmosphere and 20% of it is oxygen.
Question 49. Prove the following statement: ‘Air is a mixture’. [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
In a mixture, the components can easily be separated and they also retain their properties.
The main constituents of air are nitrogen, oxygen, water vapour and carbon dioxide, and they all can easily be separated with their properties being unchanged or altered.
Question 50. What is atmosphere? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
Atmosphere is the envelope of gases surrounding the Earth.
