Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 7

What kind of reaction is combustion?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 7

Combustion is an oxidation reaction accompanied by heat and light.

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 8

Which of the following is a non- combustible substance?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 8

Diamond is a non-combustible substance.

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 9

What is the lowest temperature at which a substance starts burning called?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 9

The temperature at which a substance starts burning on heating is called ignition temperature. Highly    inflammable substances have a low ignition temperature. Hence, they catch fire easily.

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 10

If the temperature falls below its ignition temperature, then what happens to the burning substance?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 10

A burning substance will be extinguished if the temperature falls below its ignition temperature.

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 11

Which of the following is an example of rapid combustion?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 11

Rapid combustion is a form of combustion in which large amounts of heat and light energy are released. Candle shows rapid combustion, whereas cracker and white Phosphorous come under explosion and spontaneous combustion respectively.

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 12

In which of the following types of combustion are heat, light and sound produced?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 12

The combustion in which heat, light and sound are produced is known as explosive combustion.

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 13

I Match the entries in Column-l with those in Column-ll correctly.

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 13

The correct combination is a - 3, b - 4, c - 2, d - 1
(i) Dark inner zone -Unburnt vapours of wax
(ii) Blue zone - Complete combustion
(iii) Luminous zone ? Partial combustion
(iv) Non-luminous zone - Hottest part (no carbon)

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 14

What does the blue zone in an L.P.G. flame indicate?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 14

The blue zone in L.P.G. flame indicates the hottest zone where complete combustion takes place.

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 15

What does natural gas contain?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 15

Natural gas consists of methane, ethane, propane etc., of which methane forms major composition of about 95%.

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 16

How is synthetic petrol produced?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 16

The Bergius Process is a very simple process for converting brown coal completely into crude oil. It was invented by Dr. Friedrich Bergius. In this process, brown coal, also known as lignite is powdered and mixed with heavy oil and heated with hydrogen under high pressure of about 200-250 atm. and a temperature of about 748 K in the presence of iron oxide as catalyst. The vapours on condensation give a liquid resembling crude oil. This is called synthetic petrol, which on fractional distillation gives petrol (gasoline).

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 17

Arrange the following fuels in the increasing order of their calorific value.

1. Hydrogen gas
2. Kerosine oil
3. Charcoal
4. Wood.

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 17

To arrange the fuels in increasing order of calorific value:

1. Hydrogen gas: Hydrogen has the highest calorific value among the listed fuels, around 141.8 MJ/kg (MegaJoules per kilogram).2. Kerosene oil: Kerosene oil has a high calorific value, ranging from 42.5 to 46.2 MJ/kg.3. Charcoal: Charcoal has a moderate calorific value, typically around 33 MJ/kg.4. Wood: Wood has the lowest calorific value on this list, with an average of around 15 MJ/kg (depending on the wood type and moisture content).
- Correct Order: 4. Wood, 3. Charcoal, 2. Kerosene oil, 1. Hydrogen gas
- Explanation:
- Wood: Lower calorific value due to higher moisture content.
- Charcoal: More calorific value than wood due to lower moisture content.
- Kerosene oil: Higher calorific value compared to charcoal.
- Hydrogen gas: Highest calorific value due to complete combustion producing only water vapor.
- Correct Answer: D: 4, 3, 2, 1

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 18

What does the incomplete combustion of a fuel give?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 18

The incomplete combustion of a fuel gives carbon monoxide (CO), soot (carbon particles), and water vapor. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen to allow the fuel to burn completely, which results in these harmful byproducts instead of producing only carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water, as in complete combustion.

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 19

The total amount of heat produced by a fuel having a calorific value of 20 kJ kg 1 was found to be 50,000 joules. How much fuel was burnt?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 19

1 kg of fuel when burnt gives 20,000 joules of heat energy. 50,000 joules of heat energy will be produced by 2.5 kg of fuel as given below. 1 kg fuel produces 20kJkg−1 heat ? fuel produces 50kJkg−1 heat 

Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 20

What is combustion?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Combustion & Flame - Question 20

Combustion is burning of a substance in the presence of oxygen. During this process heat energy is released, it is therefore an oxidation and exothermic reaction.
