Which of the following happen when a wax candle is burnt(i) Fuel undergo oxidation(ii)Liberation of heat and light energy (iii) release of water vapour and carbondioxide (i) and (ii) only (iii) and (i) only (ii) and (iii) only (i), (ii) and (iii) None 3. Which of the following are the characteristics of Indian coal?1. High ash content2. Low sulphur content3. High sulphur contentSelect the correct answer using the codes given. 2 only 1 and 2 only 1,2, and 3 1 and 3 only None 4. A thin paper cup filled with water does not catch fire when placed over a flame. This is because: the water cuts off oxygen supply to the paper cup paper is a poor conductor of heat the paper cup does not reach to ignition temperature water is an excellent conductor of heat None 5. Which compound is formed due to incomplete combination of fuels? Oxygen Carbon dioxide Water Carbon monoxide None 6. Which of the following examples represents explosion? Burning of matchstick Ignition of a cracker Burning of phosphorus in air at room temperature Burning of cooking gas None 7. Which chemical substance is emitted in car exhaust and is a cause of acid rain? DDT Lead Carbon dioxide Nitrogen oxides None 8. What reactant must be present for a reaction to be classified as combustion? CO CH4 Cl4 O2 None 9. Explosion of crackers takes place due to application of _________ on them. temperature pressure heat none of these None 10. How water helps in extinguishing fire? Water heats the combustible material so that its temperature is brought below the ignition temperature. Water cools the combustible material so that its temperature is brought below the ignition temperature. None of these Water cools the combustible material so that its temperature is brought above the ignition temperature. None 11. When fuel is added to the exhaust (burnt) gases in a jet engine combustion takes place. Some facts are mentioned here about this combustion. Pick the false one? It gives additional thrust It is known as 'after burning' It reduces fuel consumption It increases the intake of oxygen from the air None 12. The cooking gas burns rapidly and produces heat and light. Such combustion is called _________. regular combustion incomplete combustion none of these rapid combustion None 13. The heat liberated per kilogram of a fuel is called its: weight value mass value calorific value fuel value None 14. Fire extinguishers containing CO2 are the best extinguishers for fires involving electrical equipment: because CO 2 being heavier than oxygen covers the fire like a blanket. because CO2 being heavier than oxygen increases fire. because CO2 being lighter than oxygen covers the fire like a blanket. None of these None 15. A white solid X reacts with dil.HCl to give colourless gas which is used in fire extinguishers. The solid X is: NaHCO3 $$Na_{2}Co_{3}$$ NaCl $$CH_{3}COONa$$ None 16. I. The most significant way in which humans are exposed to mercury is through drinking water.��II. A great deal of mercury enters the atmosphere because of coal-burning power plants. Statement I is true, Statement II is true Statement I is false, Statement II is true Statement I is true, Statement II is false Statement I is true, Statement II is true and is a correct explanation of the phenomena described in I None 17. How carbon dioxide is stored in the house to extinguish fire? It can store in the cylinders under high pressure It can not store in any form It can store in canes It can store in the bottles None 18. Which of the following example represents spontaneous combustion? Phosphorus burns in air at room temperature Burning of matchstick. Burning of cooking gas. Ignition of a cracker. None 19. If you watch a burning candle carefully, you will find different colurs in the flame. Which is the hottest part of the candle flame? The outermost portion that is blue The innermost black zone The middle orange part The middle, yellow part None 20. For complete combustion of a fuel, it will need: an excess of air and high temperature an excess of air high temperature high air pressure None Time's up Please Share This Share this content Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Opens in a new window Leave a Reply Cancel replyCommentEnter your name or username to commentEnter your email address to commentEnter your website URL (optional) Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
