Ncert – class 8- science – Chapter 4: Combustion and Flame 1 Welcome to your Ncert - class 8- science - Chapter 4: Combustion and Flame 1 1. 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 middle orange part The outermost portion that is blue The innermost black zone The middle, yellow part None 2. Fire extinguishers containing CO2 are the best extinguishers for fires involving electrical equipment: because CO2 being lighter than oxygen covers the fire like a blanket. None of these because CO2 being heavier than oxygen increases fire. because CO 2 being heavier than oxygen covers the fire like a blanket. None 3. A white solid X reacts with dil.HCl to give colourless gas which is used in fire extinguishers. The solid X is: $$Na_{2}Co_{3}$$ NaCl $$CH_{3}COONa$$ NaHCO3 None 4. What reactant must be present for a reaction to be classified as combustion? Cl4 O2 CO CH4 None 5. Which of the following examples represents explosion? Burning of cooking gas Burning of matchstick Burning of phosphorus in air at room temperature Ignition of a cracker None 6. Which compound is formed due to incomplete combination of fuels? Oxygen Carbon dioxide Water Carbon monoxide None 7. How carbon dioxide is stored in the house to extinguish fire? It can store in the bottles It can store in the cylinders under high pressure It can not store in any form It can store in canes None 8. The cooking gas burns rapidly and produces heat and light. Such combustion is called _________. rapid combustion incomplete combustion regular combustion none of these None 9. 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 false, Statement II is true Statement I is true, Statement II is true Statement I is true, Statement II is true and is a correct explanation of the phenomena described in I Statement I is true, Statement II is false None 10. 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. 1 and 3 only 1,2, and 3 2 only 1 and 2 only None 11. For complete combustion of a fuel, it will need: high temperature an excess of air an excess of air and high temperature high air pressure None 12. During burning of candle, different zones of combustion in the flame are listed below:-a) Outermost zoneb) Innermost zonec) Middle zone The correct order of temperature of zones is : A>B>C B>C>A A>C>B C>B>A None 13. 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 reduces fuel consumption It gives additional thrust It is known as 'after burning' It increases the intake of oxygen from the air None 14. Which of the following example represents spontaneous combustion? Phosphorus burns in air at room temperature Burning of cooking gas. Burning of matchstick. Ignition of a cracker. None 15. The heat liberated per kilogram of a fuel is called its: calorific value mass value weight value fuel value None 16. 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 above the ignition temperature. Water cools the combustible material so that its temperature is brought below the ignition temperature. None of these None 17. Explosion of crackers takes place due to application of _________ on them. temperature heat none of these pressure None 18. 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), (ii) and (iii) (iii) and (i) only (ii) and (iii) only (i) and (ii) only None 19. A thin paper cup filled with water does not catch fire when placed over a flame. This is because: water is an excellent conductor of heat paper is a poor conductor of heat the paper cup does not reach to ignition temperature the water cuts off oxygen supply to the paper cup None 20. Which chemical substance is emitted in car exhaust and is a cause of acid rain? DDT Lead Carbon dioxide Nitrogen oxides 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.
