Cetane number is used as a quality parameter mainly for which of the following?
Correct Answer:
(C)
Diesel
As the octane number is used to measure the ignition stability of gasoline (petrol), the cetane number is used as a quality parameter of diesel. The combustion of diesel without spark is provided by compression. Thus, as soon as the diesel fuel is ignited and compressed the cetane number will be higher. This identifies the good quality of diesel.

The fuel used in a diesel engine :
Correct Answer:
(A)
Vapour of diesel and air
A diesel engine is an internal combustion engine in which ignition in fuel is generated by using heat produced by compressing air in closed place. There is no carbureter in diesel engines for combustion as in petrol engines. In a diesel engine, the air inside a cylinder is compressed to such a level so that the temperature of air reaches 80°F and this temperature works as combustion in diesel engines.

Which of the following is correctly matched?
List-I List - II
Biogas - Insecticide
Electrocardiography - Heart disorder
D.D.T. - Cow-dung
Nicotine - Tobacco
Code :
Correct Answer:
(D)
2 and 4
In villages, we get gas for cooking and light from a biogas plant. From electrocardiography we detect the diseases related to the heart. D.D.T. is an insecticide. Nicotine is present in tobacco, which affects the health most.

Which one of the following chemicals helps in fruit ripening?
Correct Answer:
(A)
Ethephon
The Chemical Ethephon is often used in fruit ripening. Ethephon or ethrel is a commercial formulation which produce ethylene when dissolved in water at particular pH. This is a good substitute for calcium carbide.
Ques:
35
Which of the following chemicals is used for ripening?
Correct Answer:
(B)
Calcium Carbide
In the artificial ripening of fruit, calcium carbide is sometimes used as a source of acetylene gas, which is a ripening agent similar to Ethylene. Its chemical formula is CaC2.
Ques:
36
Glycol is used to manufacture which of the following?
Correct Answer:
(C)
Terylene
Terylene is a polyester fiber that is formed by the condensation polymerization of ethylene glycol (glycol) and terephthalic acid.
Ques:

Which of the following gas mixture is used in welding gas?
Correct Answer:
(B)
Oxygen and Acetylene
In gas welding, the mixture of oxygen and acetylene are used.
Ques:
38
Consider the following statements about acetylene :
It is used in welding industry.
It is a raw material for preparing plastics.
It is easily obtained by mixing silicon carbide and water.
Of these statements
Correct Answer:
(A)
1 and 2 are correct
Acetylene is also called as Ethyne (C2H2). It is used in welding. Chloroethane is produced by acetylene which is used as raw material in plastic industry. The mixture of calcium carbide (not silicon carbide) and water produces acetylene.
Ques:

For benzene which of the following statements is true?
Correct Answer:
(C)
It has twelve sigma and three pi bonds
Benzene is an important organic chemical compound with chemical formula C6H6. Its molecule is composed of 6 Carbon atoms and 6 Hydrogen atoms. Its chemical structure can be described as a hexagonal ring with alternating double bonds. In benzene there are 6 sigma bonds between carbon atoms and 6 sigma bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms. It has also 3 pi bonds between carbon atoms. Therefore 12 sigma and 3 pi bonds are present in benzene molecule.

Natural rubber is a polymer of –
Correct Answer:
(C)
Isoprene
Polymerization is the process of joining together a large number of small molecules to make a very large molecule. The reactants (i.e. the small molecules from which the polymer is constructed) are called monomers and products of the polymerization process are called polymers. Natural rubber is the natural polymer of isoprene. Isoprene is a colourless liquid made by destructive distillation of petroleum.
