LPG mainly contains: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

LPG mainly contains:
A. Hydrogen and methane
B. Acetylene and propane
C. Methane and ethane
D. Propane and butane
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) consists primarily of propane (C₃H₈) and butane (C₄H₁₀) liquefied under pressure. A strong-smelling mercaptan is added as odorant to detect leaks. CNG is mainly methane. LPG is used for cooking and as automotive fuel (autogas). It has higher calorific value than natural gas. It is heavier than air, so it settles in low areas, posing a safety hazard if leaked.

Question #1
Which acid is known as 'Oil of Vitriol'?
A. Sulphuric acid
B. Acetic acid
C. Nitric acid
D. Hydrochloric acid

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) is historically called oil of vitriol because it was prepared by distilling green vitriol (ferrous sulfate heptahydrate). It is a dense, oily liquid. Nitric acid is aqua fortis, hydrochloric acid was called muriatic acid or spirit of salt. Sulphuric acid is the king of chemicals due to its widespread use in industries like fertilizer, petroleum refining, and chemical synthesis.

Question #2
Global warming is primarily due to the increase in atmospheric concentration of:
A. Nitrogen
B. Oxygen
C. Argon
D. Carbon dioxide

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The enhanced greenhouse effect causing global warming is mainly due to rising CO₂ levels from fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and industrial processes. Other GHGs like CH₄, N₂O, CFCs also contribute. Oxygen and nitrogen are not greenhouse gases. Argon is noble gas, inert. The atmospheric CO₂ has increased from ~280 ppm (pre-industrial) to over 420 ppm. This leads to climate change, sea level rise, and extreme weather.

Question #3
Charles' law states that at constant pressure, volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to:
A. Density
B. Pressure
C. Molar mass
D. Absolute temperature

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Charles' law: V ∝ T (Kelvin) at constant P and n. V/T = constant. This means if temperature is doubled (in Kelvin), volume doubles. Temperature must be in Kelvin (K = °C + 273). Graph of V vs T is a straight line passing through origin. This law is used in hot air balloons: heated air expands, decreasing density, providing lift. Combined with Boyle's law gives PV = nRT.
