C
Correct answer
Explanation
Natural gas is called 'sour gas' when it contains significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). The sulfur content gives it corrosive properties and a rotten egg odor. Carbon (C), phosphorus (P), and arsenic (As) are not responsible for the sour designation.
-
Only 1
-
Only 2
-
Both 1 and 2
-
Neither 1 nor 2
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect: Methane is known as marsh gas because it is formed by methanogenic organisms that can be found in marshy areas.
Statement 2 is correct: Hydrogen sulphide and sulphur bacteria mostly smell like rotten eggs.
-
Chalk is white in color.
-
Chalk is a metal.
-
Chalk in soluble in water.
-
Chalk is opaque.
-
Chalk is porous.
E
Correct answer
Explanation
Yes, chalk is porous, so it absorbs water; as a result, after some time it becomes heavier and sinks.
-
