Which of the following gas leak was the reason for Bhopal Gas Tragedy?

  1. Methyl Cyanate

  2. Ethyl Cyanate

  3. Methyl isocyanate

  4. Ethyl isocyanate
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The Bhopal disaster or Bhopal gas tragedy was an industrial accident. It happened at a Union Carbide subsidiary pesticide plant in the city of Bhopal, India. On 3 December 1984, the plant released 42 tonnes of toxic methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas, exposing more than 500,000 people to toxic gases.

The gas leaked from a storage tank of the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal gas tragedy was

  1. methyl isocyanate

  2. methylamine

  3. ammonia

  4. phosgene
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The Bhopal gas tragedy was caused by a massive leak of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas from the Union Carbide pesticide plant in 1984. It is one of the world's worst industrial disasters.

Multiple choice chemistry separation of substances classification of mixtures mixtures: examples and properties types of solutions

Identify the mixture from the following:

  1. Oxygen

  2. Carbon dioxide

  3. Hydrogen

  4. Air
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The mixture consists of constituents in indefinite proportion. It may change over time. Air has 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and 1% other constituents such as $CO _2$, water vapour etc. About 100 years ago the proportion of $CO _2$ in the air was about 0.029% and now it is 0.035%. Thus we see that it's proportion has changed.

Multiple choice chemistry endothermic and exothermic reactions endothermic reactions what are enthalpy changes energy change in chemical reactions

The reaction of nitrogen with oxygen to form nitric oxide is :

  1. Exothermic reaction

  2. Endothermic reaction

  3. Thermal balance reaction

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Oxygen and nitrogen do not react at ambient temperatures. But at high temperatures, they undergo an endothermic reaction producing various oxides of nitrogen. Such temperatures arise inside an internal combustion engine or a power station boiler, during the combustion of a mixture of air and fuel, and naturally in a lightning flash.

Multiple choice zoology not for breathing not for drinking air pollution and its control air pollution - effects and control environmental issues

Pyrogallol is used in gas analysis because its

  1. Alkaline solution absorbs oxygen

  2. Acidic solution absorbs oxygen

  3. Alkaline solution reacts with carbon dioxide

  4. Acidic solution absorbs nitrogen
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A pyrogallol is also called as 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene. It is a benzenetriol. It is a reducing agent. It is used as a developer in photography. It is also used as a coupling agent in printing. It undergoes rapid autooxidation in alkaline solution. Hence, its alkaline solution is used in the gas analysis because it absorbs oxygen. 

Thus, the correct answer is 'Alkaline solution absorbs oxygen'.
