Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Petroleum is formed from:

A
insects

B
wild animals

C
organisms in sea

D
domestic animals

Solution

Petroleum (also known as crude oil or simply oil) is a fossil fuel that was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms. Millions of years ago, algae and plants lived in shallow seas. After dying and sinking to the seafloor, the organic material mixed with other sediments and was buried.
Question 2
1 / -0

Which kind of materials (resources) can be extinct in future?

A
Non-renewable

B
Renewable

C
Both $$A$$ and $$B$$

D
None of these

Solution

Non-renewable resources take millions of years to get replenished. So the non-renewable resources which we use in daily life can extinct in the near future.
Most fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas, and coal are considered non-renewable resources in that their use is not sustainable because their formation takes billions of years.

Hence, the correct option is $$\text{A}$$
Question 3
1 / -0

What will happen when oil gets exhausted from the earth?

A
Airplanes will stop flying

B
Plants will stop growing

C
Water will be unavailable

D
All of the above

Solution

Airplanes are operated on aviation kerosene, which is extracted from oil. If oil disappears from the earth, airplanes will not be able to fly. Plants will continue to grow and, water will be available as these are not dependent on oil. So the correct option is A.
Question 4
1 / -0

Which of the following causes the least pollution when burnt?

A
Petrol

B
Natural gas

C
Coal

D
Diesel

Solution

Natural gas mainly contains methane.

Combustion of one molecule of methane with two oxygen molecules reacts to form one carbon dioxide molecule and two water molecules usually are given off as steam or water vapor during the reaction and energy. Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.

$$CH_4 + 2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 +2H_2O$$

Option B is correct.
Question 5
1 / -0

Of these, which is the source of nonrenewable energy?

A
Tides

B
Coal

C
Wind

D
Boimass

Solution

A non-renewable resource is a resource of economic value that cannot be readily replaced by natural means on a level equal to its consumption. Most fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas and coal are considered nonrenewable resources in that their use is not sustainable because their formation takes billions of years.

Tides, wind and biomass are sources of renewable energy.
Question 6
1 / -0

Which of the following can not be taken to conserve energy resources (like coal and petroleum)?

A
Use stairs to climb at least up to three floors of a building instead of taking a lift. This will save electricity.

B
Pressure cookers should not be used for cooking food as the food is cooked in a cooker at very high pressure.

C
Solar cookers should be used to cook food whenever possible.

D
The use of biogas as domestic fuel should be encouraged in rural areas.

Solution

There are many ways to conserve energy resources like coal or petroleum.

(i) Using stairs instead of lift for general purpose.
(ii) Biogas should be used in rural areas as cow dung is available.
(iii) Solar panels should be used wherever possible.
Question 7
1 / -0

Which component obtained from the refining of petroleum is used as a solvent in petrochemicals?

A
Tar

B
Kerosene

C
Naptha

D
Petroleum coke

Solution

Petroleum Naptha is an intermediate hydrocarbon obtained from the refining of petroleum and is used as a solvent in petrochemicals.
Question 8
1 / -0

The Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) is an organization established in India in:

A
1968

B
1988

C
1948

D
1978

Solution

The Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) is an organization established in India in 1978. It helps the government in proposing policies and strategies aimed at reducing India's dependency on oil, in order both to save money and to reduce the environmental impact of oil use.
Question 9
1 / -0

Which of the following(s) is/are called fossil fuel?

A
Mineral Coal

B
Petroleum

C
Natural Gas

D
All of the above

Solution

Fossil fuels are the fuels obtained from dead plants and animals buried under the earth. Because of the higher amount of pressure and temperature, the dead and decaying matter changed to fossils and they both are used as fuels.
Mineral coal, petroleum, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.
Question 10
1 / -0

Sewer gas is a complex mixture of:

A
toxic and nontoxic gases

B
toxic gases

C
nontoxic gases

D
inert gases

Solution

Sewer gas is a complex mixture of toxic and nontoxic gases produced by the decomposition of organic household or industrial wastes.
