Question 71.


Which gas protects us from ultraviolet rays of the Sun?


  1.     Hydrogen
  2.     Nitrogen
  3.     Oxygen
  4.     Ozone
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Ozone
:
D
Ozone is a colourless gas that can be found throughout all layers of our atmosphere. Most ozone is found in the stratosphere, which begins at about 10–16 kilometres above earth’s surface.  The ozone layer protects us by absorbing potentially harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. The UV rays can cause sunburn and skin cancer. 
Question 72.


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...
Question 73.


When a person is caught with fire, he or she is wrapped in a thick blanket so as to


  1.     cut off the oxygen supply.
  2.     cut off the nitrogen supply.
  3.     keep the body cool.
  4.     cut off the carbon dioxide supply.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> cut off the oxygen supply.
:
A
In order for a fire to burn, all three elements must be present: heat, fuel and oxygen. If any of the elements are cut off the fire will be put out.
As blanket completely surrounds the person, it seals the person’s body surface around the fire and cuts off the oxygen supply to the fire, thereby putting it out. Hence, blanket acts as a fire extinguisher and stops the fire from spreading.
Question 74.


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 75.


Which of the following statement is correct?


  1.      Air is a mixture of many gases.
  2.     Air is incompressible.
  3.     Air is not a matter as it cannot be seen.
  4.     Air doesn't exert pressure.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->  Air is a mixture of many gases.
:
A
Air occupies space and has mass, therefore, it is matter. Air can be compressed and it exerts pressure in all the directions. For example, when we inflate a balloon, air occupies the space in the balloon and exerts pressure on the walls of the balloon. Air around us is a mixture of gases. It contains nitrogen, oxygen, argon, other gases and also water vapour.
Question 76.


Which of the following statement is true about air?


  1.     It is opaque.
  2.     It is made up of only one substance.
  3.     It contains water vapour.
  4.     It contains 70% of oxygen.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> It contains water vapour.
:
C
Air is a mixture of invisible gases, that surrounds the earth. It mainly consists of gases namely nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), argon (0.9%), carbon-dioxide (0.03%) and water vapour. Composition of air is as follows:
Which Of The Following Statement Is True About Air?
Question 77.


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 78.


Statement I: Factories should have tall chimneys.


Statement II: Tall chimneys in factories help in releasing harmful smoke high in the atmosphere.


  1.     Statement I is true and statement II false.
  2.     Statement I is false and statement II true.
  3.     Statement I is true and statement II is true.
  4.     Statement I is false and statement II is false.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Statement I is true and statement II is true.
:
C
The burning of fuel releases harmful gases in the atmosphere. The tall chimneys in factories would take away the gases from the breathing level of the living organisms and would release them high into the atmosphere.
Question 79.


Pooja fixed a candle at the bottom of the container holding water. After lighting the candle, she inverted a glass jar over it. What do you think she observed?
Pooja Fixed A Candle At The Bottom Of The Container Holding ...


  1.     The flame continued to burn, and water rose in the jar.
  2.     The flame was put off, and black smoke got deposited on the sides of the jar.
  3.     The flame continued to burn, and molten wax felt into the water.
  4.     The flame was put off and water rose in the jar.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> The flame was put off and water rose in the jar.
:
D
The flame of the candle will burn till there is oxygen available in the jar. After sometime, when all the oxygen is consumed, candle flame will go off. The water from the container will rise in the jar to occupy the space of the consumed oxygen gas.
