Question 1
1 / -0

The black thick liquid with an unpleasant smell is known as :

A
naphtha

B
gasoline

C
coal tar

D
diesel oil

Solution

The black thick liquid with an unpleasant smell is known as coal tar. It is obtained during the processing of coal in industries.

Hence, the correct option is $$C$$.
Question 2
1 / -0

The word that is supposed to come in the blank in the following sentence has been jumbled up. Find the correct form of the word.
______ is obtained from mines.

A
Laco

B
Coal

C
Cola

D
None of these

Solution

Coal is obtained from coal mines. Coal is present underground and has to be mined using special machines.
Question 3
1 / -0

Coal and petroleum are formed from the dead remains of organisms and are known as :

A
fuels

B
fossil fuels

C
diesel

D
None of these

Solution

Coal and petroleum are formed from the dead remains of organisms and are known as fossil fuels.

Hence the correct option is $$B$$.
Question 4
1 / -0

Petroleum is formed under the earth's crust by chemical changes in:

A
Vegetable matter

B
Inorganic matter

C
Animal matter

D
Both vegetable and animal matter

Solution

Petroleum is also known as crude oil is a fossil fuel that was formed from the remains of marine organisms and plant wastes (vegetable).

Millions of years ago, algae and plants lived in shallow areas of the seas. After dying and sinking to the sea-bottom, the organic material mixed with other sediments and was buried. Over millions of years under high pressure and high temperature, the remains of these organisms transformed into fossil fuels by the various chemical processes. Coal, natural gas, and petroleum are all fossil fuels that formed under similar conditions.
Hence option D is correct.
Question 5
1 / -0

Which of the following is a false statement?

A
To overcome the energy crisis the use of solar cooker must be increased.

B
To overcome the energy crisis more amount of non-renewable sources of energy must be used.

C
The re-usage of waste material as a source of energy can be done to overcome the energy crisis.

D
To overcome the energy crisis water has to be saved.

Solution

To overcome the energy crises more amount of renewable sources of energy must be used because renewable sources of energy can be used again and again and solar energy is a renewable source of energy.
So, option $$\text{B}$$ is not correct.
Question 6
1 / -0

Coal is a rock formed from ___________millions of years ago.

A
plants

B
aquatic animals

C
plants and animals

D
none of the above

Solution

Coal is a rock formed from plants that died millions of years ago. Due to the action of heat and pressure, these dead plants got converted to coal.
Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Which of the following is obtained on fractional distillation of petroleum ?

A
Paraffin wax

B
Asphalt (Bitumen)

C
Petroleum gas

D
All of these

Solution

The various products obtained during the fractional distillation of petroleum (or crude oil) can be divided into two categories:
Petroleum products used as fuels: Petroleum gas (or liquefied petroleum gas), petrol (gasoline), kerosene, diesel, fuel oil.
Petroleum products not used as fuels: Petroleum ether, Lubricating oil, Greases, petroleum jelly, paraffin wax, asphalt.
As all of the given options are obtained on the fractional distillation of petroleum hence, option $$D$$ is correct.
Question 8
1 / -0

Which of the following is not a petroleum product ?

A
Bees wax

B
Paraffin wax

C
Candle wax

D
Naphtha

Solution

Petroleum by-products are LPG, gasoline, Naphtha, fuel oil, paraffin wax, candle wax, lubricants, etc. But Beeswax is a natural wax produced in the beehive of honey bees.
Question 9
1 / -0

LPG is mainly a mixture of the two hydrocarbons:

A
butane + ethane

B
butane + propane

C
propane + ethane

D
methane + ethane

Solution

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is mainly composed of three or four carbon atoms. Propane ($$C_3H_8$$) and butane ($$C_4H_{10})$$ are the main components of LPG. A small concentration of other hydrocarbons may also be present.
Hence, option $$B$$ is correct.
Question 10
1 / -0

Study the given flow chart.
Based on the given flow chart, what could X be?

A
Petrol

B
Kerosene

C
Diesel

D
Natural gas

Solution

Natural gas is very important fossil fuel because it can be transported through pipes hence reduces the cost of transport. It is stored under high pressure as compressed natural gas (CNG) which has many uses. It can be used as a fuel for power generation, for vehicles as it is a cleaner fuel, etc.
Natural gas is also used as a starting material for the production of various chemicals and fertilizers.
Hence, option $$D$$ is correct.
