The phenomenon of global warming is primarily linked to an increase in: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The phenomenon of global warming is primarily linked to an increase in:
A. Oxygen concentration
B. Dust particles in the air
C. Greenhouse gases concentration
D. Ozone layer thickness
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Global warming is the long-term rise in Earth's average temperature, primarily caused by the increased concentration of greenhouse gases (like CO₂, CH₄, N₂O) in the atmosphere. These gases trap outgoing infrared radiation, enhancing the natural greenhouse effect and leading to climate change.

Question #1
Which catalyst is used in the decomposition of H₂O₂ in laboratory preparation of oxygen?
A. Pt
B. V₂O₅
C. MnO₂
D. Fe

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Manganese dioxide (MnO₂) catalyzes H₂O₂ decomposition: 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂. Finely divided MnO₂ is added. Other catalysts include catalase enzyme.

Question #2
The main constituent of natural gas is:
A. Methane
B. Ethane
C. Butane
D. Propane

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Natural gas is primarily methane (CH₄), typically 70-90%, along with small amounts of ethane, propane, butane, and other hydrocarbons. It is a fossil fuel formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms. CNG (compressed natural gas) is methane stored at high pressure. LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) mainly contains propane and butane. Methane has the highest calorific value among the given options per unit mass.

Question #3
The separation technique that uses a porous barrier to separate solids from liquids is:
A. Filtration
B. Distillation
C. Chromatography
D. Sublimation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Filtration uses filter paper or other porous medium that allows liquid to pass but retains solid particles. Distillation separates liquids by boiling points; sublimation separates sublimable solids; chromatography separates based on differential adsorption. Example: separating sand from water.
