Solutions:

S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. An emulsion is a colloid of two or more immiscible liquids where one liquid contains a dispersion of the other liquids. Milk is an example of an emulsion.

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. CNG is made by compressed natural gas which is mainly composed of Methane (CH4).

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. The cow dung or gobar gas has a lot of energy which can be stored for a biogas plant by the process of fermentation.

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Nitrochloroform is used as anaesthetics before the operation of the patient to make them unconscious. Other options are explosive.

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Helium is a non-radioactive isotope of the element Helium. Its nucleus is identical to an alpha particle and consists of two protons and two neutrons.

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Transition metals doen’t have tendency to gain electrons.

S7. Ans.(d)
Sol.Ehthylene is a hydrocarbon which has the formula C2H4 since the double bond is between two carbon atoms so there is no difference in electronegativity. That’s why the shared pair of electron come lie in between those to carbon atoms, so ethylene is non polar.

S8. Ans.(a)
Sol.Phosgene can from chloroform, in presence of oxygen and UV light.

S9. Ans.(b)
Sol.Benzene was first discovered by the English scientist Michael Faraday in 1825

S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. Bullet-resistant glass is made or manufactured by using polycarbonate, thermoplastic and layers of laminated glass.
