Question 1:

The correct color changes for testing water with these two anhydrous compounds are:

• Anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride is blue and turns pink in the presence of water.

• Anhydrous copper(II) sulfate is white and turns blue in the presence of water.

So matching those:

• Cobalt(II) chloride: blue to pink

• Copper(II) sulfate: white to blue

That corresponds to option A.

Question 2:

Pure water has specific physical properties, but the most definitive test for purity from the given options is its boiling point at standard atmospheric pressure.

• A. pH of 7 — Pure water has pH 7 at 25°C, but so do some buffer solutions or neutral solutions that are not pure water.

• B. Boiling point of 100°C — A sharp, constant boiling point at 100°C (at 1 atm) indicates purity, because impurities change the boiling point. This is a more reliable test for purity in this context.

• C. No taste — Not a safe or reliable test for purity.

• D. Changes color of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate — This only shows presence of water, not purity.

Correct answer: B

Question 3:

Based on typical composition of dry air (by volume, excluding water vapor):

• Nitrogen (N₂) ≈ 78% → over 3/4 of the chart → X

• Oxygen (O₂) ≈ 21% → under 1/4 → Z 

• Noble gases + CO₂ ≈ 1% → thin section of chart → Y

So:
X = nitrogen
Y = noble gases + CO₂
Z = oxygen

That matches option B.

Question 4:

The complete combustion of a hydrocarbon (a compound containing carbon and hydrogen) requires sufficient oxygen and produces only carbon dioxide and water as products.

• A. fuel + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water — Correct for complete combustion.

• B. fuel + oxygen → carbon dioxide + hydrogen — Incorrect; hydrogen is not a product.

• C. fuel + oxygen → carbon monoxide + water — This is incomplete combustion.

• D. fuel + oxygen → carbon monoxide + hydrogen — Incorrect.

Correct answer: A

Question 5:

The decomposition of vegetation and waste gases from digestion in animals (especially ruminants like cows) produce methane (CH₄) as a major byproduct.

• Methane is released from:

  • Anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in landfills, wetlands, etc.

  • Enteric fermentation in animals (digestion).

Thus, the correct answer is B. methane.

Question 6:

Let’s evaluate each option:

• A. Burning fossil fuels — Yes, CO₂ is formed (combustion).

• B. Respiration — Yes, CO₂ is formed as a waste product.

• C. Adding acid to marble chips (calcium carbonate) — Yes, CO₂ is formed.

• D. Photosynthesis — No, CO₂ is used up (taken in), not formed.

Thus, CO₂ is NOT formed in photosynthesis.

Correct answer: D

Question 7:

The main greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere include carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄).

• A. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen — Nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas.

• B. Nitrogen and oxygen — Neither is a greenhouse gas.

• C. Oxygen and methane — Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas.

• D. Methane and carbon dioxide — Both are greenhouse gases.

Correct answer: D

Question 8:

Let’s clarify the mechanism:

• A. Incorrect — Greenhouse gases do not primarily absorb thermal energy directly from the Sun; solar radiation is mostly shortwave (visible, UV) and passes through.

• B. Correct — The Earth’s surface absorbs solar radiation, warms up, and radiates infrared (thermal) energy back toward space. Greenhouse gases absorb some of this outgoing infrared radiation and re-radiate it in all directions, including back toward Earth’s surface, trapping heat.

• C. Incorrect — Blocking UV radiation is mainly the role of the ozone layer, not greenhouse gases.

• D. Incorrect — Greenhouse gases do not burn to release thermal energy in this context; the warming effect is due to absorption and re-emission of infrared radiation.

Correct answer: B

Question 9:

Let’s check each statement:

• A. True — Catalytic converters in vehicles reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOₓ) by converting them to nitrogen and oxygen.

• B. True — Flue gas desulfurization using calcium oxide (lime) removes SO₂ by forming calcium sulfite/sulfate.

• C. True — Sulfur dioxide is a major contributor to acid rain.

• D. Not true — Incomplete combustion of carbon-containing substances produces carbon monoxide (CO) and/or carbon (soot), not primarily carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is the product of complete combustion.

Thus, the statement that is NOT true is D.

Question 10:

Let’s evaluate each:

• I. Reducing the use of fossil fuels — Valid; burning fossil fuels releases CO₂, a major greenhouse gas.

• II. Reduction in livestock farming — Valid; livestock (especially cattle) produce methane (CH₄), a potent greenhouse gas.

• III. Using more renewable energy such as solar and wind — Valid; renewable energy reduces the need for fossil fuels, thus lowering CO₂ emissions.

All three are valid methods for reducing greenhouse gases in the air.

Correct answer: D. I, II and III
