Question 41.


Air has to be blown around coal for it's easy combustion.
 


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     rapid
  4.     spontaneous
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

If air is blown around coal, then air circulation increases the supply of oxygen gas which will help in the complete combustion of coal. Supply of sufficient amount of oxygen gas lets the coal burn completely.


Question 42.


When a cracker is ignited, a sudden reaction takes place with the evolution of heat, light and sound. Identify the type of combustion?


  1.     Explosion
  2.     Spontaneous combustion
  3.     Random combustion
  4.     Rapid combustion
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Explosion
:
A
When a cracker is ignited, a sudden reaction takes place with the evolution of heat, light and sound. A large amount of gas liberated during this reaction. Such a reaction is called explosion.
Question 43.


Calorific value is expressed in a unit called kilojoule per kg (kJ/kg).


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     hydrogen
  4.     nitrogen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

The calorific value of a fuel is expressed in a unit called kilojoule per kg (kJ/kg). Calorific value is the term that is used to measure the efficiency of a fuel.


Question 44.


Water cannot be used to extinguish ________.


  1.     household fires
  2.     electrical fires
  3.     forest fires
  4.     burning paper
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> electrical fires
:
B
Water is a good fire extinguisher. But, water cannot be used to extinguish electrical fires. This is because water is a good conductor of electricity. It can cause electric shock and can harm the person who is trying to put it off.
Question 45.


Select the options that are needed for a matchstick to burn.


  1.     Friction
  2.     Chemical
  3.     Wood
  4.     Oxygen
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Chemical
:
A, B, C, and D
The three essential things that are required for a substance to burn are heat, fuel and oxygen.
Here the heat is produced by friction between matchstick and box. Fuel is the chemical at the strip of matchstick and wood. Oxygen is available in the atmosphere.
Question 46.


The combustion reaction which occurs on its own, without any external supply of heat is called as:


  1.     Rapid combustion
  2.     Spontaneous combustion
  3.     Explosion
  4.     Fire
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Spontaneous combustion
:
B
The type of combustion in which a material suddenly bursts into flames, without any external heat supply is called spontaneous combustion. For example, substances like phosphorus and sodium burn when kept open at room temperature. 
Question 47.


Which of the following options can be correctly associated with fuels?


  1.     Fuel is the substance that undergoes combustion.
  2.     Fuel produces energy to be used for work.
  3.     Fuel may be solid, liquid or gas.
  4.     The substance which is highly infammable.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Fuel produces energy to be used for work.
:
A, B, and C

Fuel is defined as a substance that undergoes reaction with oxygen and produces energy. The process is called as combustion. The fuel can be liquid (kerosene), gas (methane) or solid (coal). The meaning of inflammable is that the substance has the ability to catch fire easily. Not all fuels are inflammable. Wood is one such example.


Question 48.


What is the main chemical component present in striking surface of a matchbox?


  1.     Potassium
  2.     Phosphorus
  3.     Potassium chlorate
  4.     Graphite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Phosphorus
:
B
When a matchstick strikes on striking surface of a matchbox, the heat of the friction causes a reaction between the potassium chlorate in the match head and phosphorus in the striking surface.
Question 49.


Which of the following is not a component of a fire triangle?


  1.     Oxygen
  2.     Nitrogen
  3.     Fuel
  4.     Heat
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Nitrogen
:
B

A fire triangle is a simple model for understanding the necessary ingredients for production of fire. The triangle illustrates the three elements a fire needs to ignite: heat, fuel, and oxygen. Nitrogen gas does not support combustion. The image below shows a fire triangle.
Which Of The Following Is Not A Component Of A Fire Triangle...


Question 50.


Which of the following oxides upon dissolving with rain cause acid rain?


  1.     Nitrogen dioxide
  2.     Sulphur dioxide
  3.     Silicon dioxide
  4.     Sodium oxide
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Nitrogen dioxide
:
A and B
Motor vehicles and the industries located in and around Agra releases sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases dissolve in rain water and form acids like sulphuric acid and nitric acid. These acids fall to the ground in form of rain and this rain is called acid rain.
