Question 41. Which one of the following contributes largely to the ‘green house effect’ ?
  1.    Ozone
  2.    Carbon monoxide
  3.    Carbon dioxide
  4.    Water vapour
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Water vapour
The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. When these gases are ranked by their direct contribution to the greenhouse effect in percentage terms, the most important are: Water vapour: 36-72 per cent; Carbon dioxide: 9-26 per cent; Methane: 4-9 per cent; and Ozone: 3-7 per cent.
Question 42. The gas which is mainly responsible for the green house effect is:
  1.    Ozone
  2.    Oxygen
  3.    Carbon dioxide
  4.    Carbon monoxide
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through human activities.
Question 43. ‘Aerosol’ is known as
  1.    Suspended solid particles in air
  2.    Pollutant gas, present in air
  3.    Microbes, present in air
  4.    Green house gas present in air
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Suspended solid particles in air
An aerosol (abbreviation of "aero-solution") is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas.
Question 44. Chernobyl disaster is the result of pollution by
  1.    Oil spill
  2.    Acid rain
  3.    Carbon dioxide
  4.    Radioactive waste
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Radioactive waste
The Chernobyl accident in 1986 was the result of a flawed reactor design that was operated with inadequately trained personnel. The resulting steam explosion and fires released at least 5% of the radioactive reactor core into the environment, with the deposition of radioactive materials in many parts of Europe.
Question 45. An important green-house gas other than methane being produced from the agricultural fields is
  1.    Nitrous oxide
  2.    Ammonia
  3.    Sulphur dioxide
  4.    Arsine
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Nitrous oxide
Nitrous oxide is produced by combustion of fossil fuels, livestock wastes, breakdown of nitrogenous fertilizers in soil, nitrate contaminated water, nylon production and other industrial processes.
Question 46. The first organic compound synthesised in the laboratory was
  1.    Urea
  2.    Uric acid
  3.    Lactic acid
  4.    Glucose
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Glucose
Question 47. The compound that has the least value for octane number is :
  1.    2-methyl heptane
  2.    Iso-octane
  3.    2,2-dimethyl hexane
  4.    N-heptane
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> N-heptane
Octane rating or octane number is a standard measure of the performance of a motor or aviation fuel. The higher the octane number, the more compression the fuel can withstand. Isooctane (upper) has an octane rating of 100 whereas n-heptane has an octane rating of 0.
Question 48. The metal used for making aircrafts and rockets is
  1.    Lead
  2.    Aluminium
  3.    Nickel
  4.    Copper
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Nickel
Nickel-based super alloys are an unusual class of metallic materials with an exceptional combination of high temperature strength, toughness, and resistance to degradation in corrosive or oxidizing environment. These materials are widely used in aircraft and power-generation turbines, rocket engines, etc.
Question 49. Among the following, carbonate ore of Zinc is
  1.    Zinc blende
  2.    Calamine
  3.    Sphalerite
  4.    Zincite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Calamine
Among the following, carbonate ore of Zinc is Calamine.
Question 50. The length of double bond is _______ than single bond.
  1.    Shorter
  2.    Longer
  3.    Of same lenght
  4.    None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Shorter
Double bonds are shorter than single bonds because p-orbital overlap is maximized.
