Which of the following is considered the cleanest fuel? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is considered the cleanest fuel?
A. Coal
B. Wood
C. Diesel
D. Hydrogen
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Hydrogen is considered the cleanest fuel because its combustion produces only water (2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O) and no greenhouse gases or toxic pollutants. Coal, wood, and diesel produce CO₂, CO, SO₂, and particulate matter, contributing significantly to air pollution and global warming.

Question #1
Which gas law is expressed by P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂ for a fixed mass of gas?
A. Combined gas law
B. Charles' law
C. Gay-Lussac's law
D. Boyle's law

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The combined gas law integrates Boyle's (P₁V₁ = P₂V₂), Charles' (V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂), and Gay-Lussac's (P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂) laws into one equation: P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂ for a fixed amount of gas. It assumes ideal behavior. When one variable is constant, the respective individual law can be derived. For changing conditions, this combined form is useful. For n moles, PV = nRT.

Question #2
Which hydrocarbon belongs to the alkene series?
A. C₃H₈
B. CH₄
C. C₂H₄
D. C₂H₆

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Alkenes follow CₙH₂ₙ. C₂H₄ (ethene) fits n=2 giving H=4. C₂H₆ and CH₄ are alkanes (CₙH₂ₙ₊₂); C₃H₈ is propane (alkane). Alkenes contain a carbon-carbon double bond.

Question #3
Gamma rays differ from alpha and beta rays in that they:
A. Have no mass and no charge.
B. Are deflected by magnetic fields.
C. Have a positive charge.
D. Have mass.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Gamma rays (γ) are high-energy electromagnetic radiation (photons). Unlike alpha particles (mass, +2 charge) and beta particles (mass, -1 charge), gamma rays have zero rest mass and no electrical charge. Thus, they are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields.
