The largest reservoir of nitrogen on Earth is 

  1. Soil

  2. Air

  3. Oceans

  4. Rocks


Correct Option: B

Rising air cools by this process:

  1. Expansion

  2. Evaporation

  3. Compression

  4. Condensation


Correct Option: A

Sinking air warms by this process:

  1. Compression

  2. Expansion

  3. Condensation

  4. Friction


Correct Option: A

How many grams of air in a liter?

  1. 1.5 gm

  2. 1.3gm

  3. 1.2gm

  4. 7gm


Correct Option: B

Which of the following statement is true?

  1. Hot air expands on heating.

  2. Hot air contracts on cooling.

  3. Cold air contracts on heating.

  4. None of the above.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Air is a mixture which is composed of several gases like oxygen 21%, nitrogen 78%, carbon dioxide 0.03% and water vapors. The air molecules are held by strong intermolecular forces. When air is heated up, the air molecules absorb the heat and the intermolecular forces between the air molecules become weak and its kinetic energy increases. The air molecules move apart and become less dense and thus they expand on heating.
So, the correct answer is option A.

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
The largest reservoir of nitrogen on earth is:

  1. soil

  2. oceans

  3. air

  4. granite rocks


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is true that 70% or so of the Air is nitrogen but that it needs to be the largest reservoir. Nitrogen is an essential part of most living organisms. Most of the bodily fluids and enzymes have nitrogen in a bonded form. This is true even in the case of plants. So, the correct answer is "Air".

Suppose two unsaturated air masses mix horizontally. The resulting mixture cannot possibly be saturated.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B

Ozone hole means :

  1. thinning of the ozone layer

  2. a large sized hole in ozone layer

  3. small hole scattered in the ozone layer

  4. thickening of ozone in ozone layer


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

"Ozone hole" means thinning of the ozone layer.


The ozone hole is not technically a “hole” where no ozone is present but is actually a region of exceptionally depleted ozone layer.

Hence the option A is correct.

Choose the correct answer form the alternatives given.
Scuba divers are at high risk due to high concentration of dissolved gases while breathing air at high pressure under water. The tanks used by Scuba divers are filled with :-

  1. Air diluted with helium

  2. 02

  3. N

  4. A mixture of nitrogen and helium


Correct Option: A

The nitrogen molecules present in the air can be converted into nitrates and nitrites by :

  1. nitrogen fixation

  2. carbon fixation

  3. industries in the form of by ctprodu

  4. cereal plants


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The nitrogen molecules present in the air can be converted into nitrates and nitrites by nitrogen fixation.


Hence the option A is correct.

Reformation of ozone in stratosphere is powered by :

  1. atmospheric oxygen

  2. UV radiation

  3. sunlight

  4. heat


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Reformation of ozone in stratosphere is powered by UV radiation.

The part of atmosphere which contains constant gases with known composition called :

  1. Homosphere

  2. Thermosphere

  3. Heterosphere

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The part of the atmosphere which contains constant gases with a known composition called homo-sphere.

The homosphere is the lower of the two and the location in which turbulent mixing dominates the molecular diffusion of gases. In this region, which occurs below 100 km (about 60 miles) or so, the composition of the atmosphere tends to be independent of height.

To increase the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere :

  1. plant more trees

  2. kill all living beings

  3. cut down trees

  4. protect animal life


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Planting more trees directly increases the oxygen amount by the process of photosynthesis which in turn increases the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere.

Hence the option A is correct.

Plant consume ________ to make their own food.

  1. Oxygen

  2. Carbon dioxide

  3. Both A and B

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Plant consume carbon dioxide, water and other nutrients to make their own food.


The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colours the leaves green. 


Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis.


Hence the option B is correct.

Which of the following is incorrect regarding oxygen?

  1. Solid oxygen is blue.

  2. Oxygen gas is odorless.

  3. Oxygen is non-toxic.

  4. Liquid and solid oxygen are paramagnetic.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Solid oxygen is a clear substance with a light sky-blue colour. Oxygen gas is a colourless gas without taste or odour. Oxygen toxicity is a condition that results from the harmful effects of breathing molecular oxygen $(O _2)$ at elevated partial pressures. This causes hyperoxia, an excess of oxygen in body tissues.

Something that is paramagnetic means that it is weakly attracted to the poles of a magnetic field but it itself does not retain any magnetic properties once it is beyond that magnetic field. Oxygen, no matter what its state, is paramagnetic.In solid and liquid oxygen, the magnetic effect is measurable but in a gas, the molecules of oxygen possess ample energy of motion to overcome the weak magnetic influence. 

Why was there no oxygen in the early atmosphere?

  1. No water

  2. No animals

  3. No vegetation

  4. No fire


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Oxygen is produced by plants by the process of photosynthesis,

earlier there were no plants and vegetation, thats why no oxygen in the early atmosphere. 

Which of the following plays a very important role in the oxygen cycle?

  1. Birds

  2. Animals

  3. Plants

  4. Soil


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Plants plays a very important role in the oxygen cycle as plants create the majority of oxygen we breathe through the process of photosynthesis. In this process plants use $CO _2,$ sunlight and water to create energy. In this process they also create oxygen which they release into the air.

Plants also consumes ________ for respiration.

  1. Carbon dioxide

  2. Oxygen

  3. Nitrogen

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Plants also consume oxygen for respiration.


At night, when photosynthesis can’t take place, plants continue to consume oxygen but they don’t release any back into the atmosphere.


As the amount of oxygen consumes by the plants is very low during respiration so it doesn't effect the oxygen levels of the atmosphere.


Hence the correct option is B.

Heavy water violence is formed on combining deuterium with ___________ .

  1. heavy isotope of oxygen only

  2. oxygen

  3. ammonia

  4. nitrogen


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Heavy water violence is formed on combining deuterium with oxygen.
