Sol. Methane is the principal gas in biogas. It is also the main component of natural gas, a fossil fuel, can be used to replace natural gas in many applications including cooking, heating, steam production, etc.
Q5. CNG used in automobiles to check pollution mainly consist of-
वाहनों में प्रदूषण की जांच के लिए उपयोग की जाने वाली CNG में मुख्य रूप से निहित है-
(a) CH₄
(b) CO₂
(c) N₂
(d) H₂
Sol. CNG is made by compressed natural gas which is mainly composed of Methane (CH4). It is a mixture of hydrocarbons which is found deep inside Earth and have approx.. 80% to 90% of Methane.
Q6. Gasohol is
गैसोहोल क्या है?
(a) Ethyl alcohol + Petrol / एथिल एल्कोहल + पेट्रोल
(b) Natural gas + Ethyl alcohol / प्राकृतिक गैस + एथिल अल्कोहल
(c) Any gas dissolved in alcohol / अल्कोहल में विघटित कोई भी गैस
(d) Ethyl alcohol + Kerosene oil / एथिल एल्कोहल + केरोसिन तेल
Sol. Gasohol, a gasoline extender made from a mixture of gasoline (90%) and ethanol (10 % often obtained by fermenting agricultural crops) or gasoline (97%) and methanol or wood alcohol (3%). Gasohol has higher octane or antiknock properties by which it burns more slowly, coolly and completely.
एक कार के इंजन के ‘नॉकिंग’ से बचने के लिए, इनमें से क्या एंटी-नॉकिंग एजेंट के रूप में उपयोग किया जाता है?
(a) Ethyl alcohol / एथिल अल्कोहल
(b) Butane/ब्युटेन
(c) Lead Tetra Ethyl / लेड टेट्रा एथिल
(d) White Petrol /वाइट पेट्रोल
Sol. Tetraethyl Lead (CH₃CH₂)₄Pb is the chief antiknock agent for automotive gasoline or petrol. In the hot cylinder of a gasoline engine, the bonds between the Lead atom and the Ethyl groups are broken. Upon combustion, the Lead atom forms Lead Oxide (PbO) which prevents fractions of the fuel mixture from burning too quickly and causing a highly undesirable “engine knock.” It is mixed with petrol to increase its anti-knocking rate.
टेट्राएथिल पेट्रोल में क्यों मिलाया जाता है?
(a) To prevent it from freezing / इसे जमने से बचाने के लिए
(b) To increase its flash point / इसका फ़्लैश पॉइंट बढाने के लिए
(c) To increase its anti-knocking rating / इसकी एंटी-नॉकिंग रेटिंग बढ़ाने के लिए
(d) To increase its boiling point / इसका क्वथनांक बढानें के लिए

निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा ऑटोमोबाइल इंजन के लिए एंटी-फ्रीज के रूप में उपयोग किया जाता है?
(a) Propyl alcohol / प्रॉपाइल एल्कोहल
(b) Ethanol / इथेनॉल
(c) Methanol / मेथनॉल
(d) Ethylene glycol / इथाइलीन ग्लाइकॉल
Sol. An antifreeze is an additive, which lowers the freezing point of a water-based liquid. An antifreeze mixture is used to achiever freezing-point depression for cold environments and also achieves boiling-point elevation of allow higher coolant temperature.
मीका क्या है?
(a) Good conductor of heat and bad conductor of electricity/ ऊष्मा का सुचालक और बिजली का कुचालक
(b) Bad conductor of both heat and electricity/ ऊष्मा और विद्युत दोनों का कुचालक
(c) Good conductor of heat and electricity both / ऊष्मा और विद्युत दोनों का सुचालक
(d) Bad conductor of heat and good conductor of electricity / ऊष्मा का कुचालक और विद्युत का सुचालक
Sol. Mica is a good conductor of heat but an electrical insulator.
निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा उद्योग में मीका कच्चा माल के रूप में उपयोग किया जाता है-
(a) Iron and steel / लोहा और स्टील
(b) Toys / खिलोने
(c) Glass and pottery / ग्लास और मिट्टी के बर्तन

(a) Mercury / पारा
(b) Water / पानी
(c) Ether / ईथर
(d) Benzene / बेंजीन
Sol. Mercury is a chemical element with the symbol (Hg). Mercury is used in thermometers due to its special properties. It can measure a wide range of temperatures from -40 to 356°C and up to 570°C under pressure in a liquid state. It expands regularly in proportional to the absolute temperature changes. A heavy, silvery d-block element, mercury is the only metallic element which is found in liquid state at standard conditions for temperature and pressure.

Sol. Mercury is easily the best liquid to use in thermometers, five important reasons are-
(1) It is very reflective, so it’s easy to see and to read accurately.
(2) It doesn’t wet the glass, so you don’t get an inaccurate reading if the temperature is falling.
(3) It is a metal, so it’s a good conductor of heat.
(4) It expands evenly with the temperature so a linear scale can be used with a high degree of accuracy.
(5) There is a large range of temperature for which it is a liquid.
