SINGLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
1. Which of the following gas is not a green house gas ?
(1) CO (2) O3 (3) CH4 (4) H2O vapour

2. Photochemical smog occurs in warm, dry and sunny climate. One of the following is not amongst the
components of photochemical smog, identify it.
(1) NO2 (2) O3
(3) SO2 (4) Unsaturated hydrocarbon

3. Which of the following statements is not true about classical smog ?

(1) Its main components are produced by the action of sunlight on emissions of automobiles and
factories.
(2) Produced in cold and humid climate.
(3) It contains compounds of reducing nature.
(4) It contains smoke, fog and sulphur dioxide.

4. Biochemical oxygen Demand, (BOD) is a measure of organic material present in water. BOD value less
than 5 ppm indicates a water sample to be :
(1) Rich in dissolved oxygen. (2) Poor in dissolved oxygen.
(3) Highly polluted (4) Not suitable for equatic life.

5. Which of the following statements is wrong ?

(1) Ozone is not responsible for green house effect.
(2) Ozone can oxidise sulphur dioxide present in the atmosphere to sulphur trioxide.
(3) Ozone hole is thinning of ozone layer present in stratosphere.
(4) Ozone is produced in upper stratosphere by the action of UV rays on oxygen.

6. Sewage containing organic waste should not be disposed in water bodies because it causes major
water pollution. Fishes in such a polluted water die because of
(1) Large number of mosquitoes.
(2) Increase in the amount of dissolved oxygen.
(3) Decrease in the amount of dissolved oxygen in water.
(4) Clogging of gills by mud.

7. Which of the following statements about photochemical smog is wrong ?

(1) It has high concentration of oxidising agents.
(2) It has low concentration of oxidising agent.
(3) It can be controlled by controlling the releases of NO 2, hydrocarbons, ozone etc
(4) Plantation of some plants like pinus helps in controlling photochemical smog.

8. The gaseous envelope around the earth is known as atmosphere. The lowest layer of this is extended
upto 10 km from sea level, this layer is :
(1) Stratosphere (2) Troposphere (3) Mesosphere (4) Hydrosphere

9. Dinitrogen and dioxygen are main constituents of air but these do not react with each other to form
oxides of nitrogen because :
(1) The reaction is endothermic and requires very high temperature.
(2) The reaction can be initiated only in presence of a catalyst.
(3) Oxides of nitrogen are unstable.
(4) N2 and O2 are unreactive.

10. The pollutants which come directly in the air from sources are called primary pollutants. Primary
pollutants are sometimes converted into secondary pollutants. Which of the following belongs to
secondary air pollutants ?
(1) CO (2) Hydrocarbon (3) Peroxyacetyl nitrate (4) NO
11. Which of the following statements is correct ?
(1) Ozone hole is a hole formed in stratosphere from which ozone oozes out.
(2) Ozone hole is a hole formed in the troposphere from which ozone oozes out.
(3) Ozone hole is thinning of ozone layer of stratosphere at some places.
(4) Ozone hole means vanishing of ozone layer around the earth completely.
12. Which of the following practices will not come under green chemistry ?
(1) If possible, making use of soap made of vegetable oils instead of using synthetic detergents.
(2) Using H2O2 for bleaching purpose instead of using chlorine based bleaching agents.
(3) Using bicycle for travelling small distances instead of using petrol/diesel based vehicles.
(4) Using plastic cans for neatly storing substances.
MCQ.
13. Which of the following conditions shows the polluted environment.

14. Phosphate containing fertilisers cause water pollution. Addition of such compounds in water bodies
causes
(1) Enhanced growth of algae.
(2) Decrease in amount of dissolved oxygen in water.
(3) Deposition of calcium phosphate.
