The main constituent of biogas is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The main constituent of biogas is:
A. Ethane
B. Hydrogen
C. Methane
D. Nitrogen
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Biogas is produced by anaerobic decomposition of organic matter (cow dung, agricultural waste) and typically contains 50-70% methane (CH₄), 30-40% CO₂, and traces of H₂S, NH₃, and H₂. Methane provides the fuel value. Biogas is a renewable fuel used for cooking and electricity generation. The slurry is good manure.

Question #1
The force holding atoms together in a covalent bond is:
A. Attraction between nucleus and shared electrons
B. Gravitational force
C. Magnetic force
D. Electrostatic attraction between ions

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
In a covalent bond, atoms share pairs of electrons; the shared electrons are attracted to the nuclei of both atoms, holding them together. Ionic bonds involve electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.

Question #2
Which of the following metals is stored under kerosene?
A. Iron
B. Zinc
C. Copper
D. Sodium

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Sodium reacts vigorously with moisture and oxygen in air, so it is stored under kerosene to prevent contact. Potassium, lithium are similarly stored. Iron, zinc, copper do not require such storage.

Question #3
Which of the following is an example of a decomposition reaction?
A. Fe + CuSO₄ → FeSO₄ + Cu
B. 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
C. AgNO₃ + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO₃
D. 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A decomposition reaction is one where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. Heating potassium chlorate (KClO₃) breaks it down into potassium chloride and oxygen gas. A is combination, C is displacement, and D is double displacement.
