  • 2. 

    In which of the following activities is Ravi helping to conserve energy resources?

    • Going to school in a car.

    • Going to school by using a bicycle.

    • Encouraging his mother to use kerosene for cooking.

    • Asking his mother to use firewood for cooking instead of LPG.

    Correct Answer
    A. Going to school by using a bicycle.
    Explanation
    Ravi is helping to conserve energy resources by going to school using a bicycle. This is because using a bicycle as a mode of transportation does not require any fuel or energy consumption, unlike using a car or other motorized vehicles. By choosing to use a bicycle, Ravi is reducing the demand for fossil fuels and minimizing air pollution, contributing to the conservation of energy resources.

    Which of these is not a product obtained from the destructive distillation of coal?

    • Coal tar

    • Coal gas

    • Natural gas

    • Coke

    Correct Answer
    A. Natural gas
    Explanation
    Natural gas is not obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. Natural gas is primarily composed of methane and is formed from the decomposition of organic matter deep within the Earth's crust over millions of years. On the other hand, coal tar, coal gas, and coke are all products that can be obtained through the destructive distillation process of coal.

    Vani: We should use alternative sources of energy for fossil fuels.Rani: Fossil fuel reserves are abundant on Earth, and so we can use them to a maximum extent for various purposes.

    • Vani is correct, and Rani is wrong.

    • Both Rani, and Vani are correct.

    • Rani is correct, and Vani is wrong.

    • Both Rani, and Vani are wrong.

    Correct Answer
    A. Vani is correct, and Rani is wrong.
    Explanation
    Vani is correct because using alternative sources of energy is important to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, which are non-renewable resources and contribute to environmental pollution. Rani is wrong because although fossil fuel reserves may be abundant, it is not sustainable or environmentally responsible to use them to a maximum extent without considering the long-term consequences.

    Statement I: Wind and Sunlight are inexhaustible resources of energy. Statement II: Energy harnessed from wind and sunlight is very less expensive.

    • I is true, II is false.

    • Both I and II are true.

    • I is false, II is true.

    • Both I and II are false.

    Correct Answer
    A. I is true, II is false.
    Explanation
    The explanation for the correct answer "I is true, II is false" is that statement I is true because wind and sunlight are indeed inexhaustible resources of energy. These sources of energy are renewable and will not run out. However, statement II is false because while wind and sunlight energy may be considered clean and environmentally friendly, the initial cost of setting up the infrastructure to harness this energy can be expensive. Therefore, the energy harnessed from wind and sunlight is not necessarily very less expensive.

    Which of the following are inexhaustible resources of energy? a) Coal    b) petroleum  c) geothermal energy d) biogas

    • A and b                                                                          

    • C only

    • D only

    • C and d

    Correct Answer
    A. C and d
    Explanation
    Coal and petroleum are not inexhaustible resources of energy because they are fossil fuels that are formed over millions of years and will eventually run out. On the other hand, geothermal energy and biogas are considered inexhaustible resources because they are derived from renewable sources such as heat from the Earth's core and organic waste, respectively, which can be continuously replenished.

    Find the odd one out.

    • LPG

    • CNG

    • Coal

    • Bio-diesel

    Correct Answer
    A. Bio-diesel
    Explanation
    The odd one out in this group is "Bio-diesel" because it is the only fuel source that is derived from organic materials, specifically plant or animal fats. LPG, CNG, and coal are all fossil fuels, while bio-diesel is a renewable energy source.

    Arrange the given terms in the correct sequential order  (AS3) a) Coal tar b) Burning of coal in the absence of air c) Coal d) Naphthalene

    • A, b, d, c

    • B, c, a, d

    • C, b, d, a

    • C, b, a, d

    Correct Answer
    A. C, b, a, d
    Explanation
    The correct sequential order is as follows:
    1) Burning of coal in the absence of air (b)
    2) Coal (c)
    3) Coal tar (a)
    4) Naphthalene (d)

    First, coal is burned in the absence of air, which results in the formation of coal tar. Coal tar is a byproduct of this process. Naphthalene is a compound that can be derived from coal tar. Therefore, the correct order is C, b, a, d.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following is true about the fractional distillation of petroleum? a) Fractions of heavier mass are collected at the upper level of the column.b) LPG is collected from the uppermost level of the column.c) Asphalt is collected as a residue.d) Paraffin wax is obtained from the middle level of the column.

    • A and b

    • A, b, and c

    • B and c

    • B, c, and d

    Correct Answer
    A. B and c
    Explanation
    The correct answer is B and c. This means that LPG is collected from the uppermost level of the column and asphalt is collected as a residue. Fractional distillation is a process used to separate crude oil into different fractions based on their boiling points. The fractions with lower boiling points, such as LPG, will rise to the top of the column and can be collected from the uppermost level. On the other hand, the fractions with higher boiling points, such as asphalt, will not vaporize and will be left as a residue at the bottom of the column.

    Which of the following is not true about bio-diesel?

    • It is non-toxic.

    • It is a renewable source of energy.

    • It requires less cultivatable land.

    • It is prepared from plant oils or animal fats.

    Correct Answer
    A. It requires less cultivatable land.
    Explanation
    Bio-diesel is a renewable source of energy that is prepared from plant oils or animal fats. It is non-toxic and has several environmental benefits. However, the statement that it requires less cultivatable land is not true. The production of bio-diesel requires a significant amount of land for growing crops such as soybeans, canola, or palm oil, which are used to extract the oils needed for bio-diesel production. Therefore, bio-diesel production actually competes with food crops for land and resources, which can have negative impacts on food security and land use.
