    Class 8 Combustion and Flame MCQs

    Q-1: Which of the following is a chemical reaction that produces heat when a substance reacts with
    oxygen?
    a) Oxidation
    b) Combustion
    c) Reduction
    d) Hydrolysis

    Answer: b) Combustion
    Explanation: Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen to produce
    heat.

    Q-2: Ignition temperature is the ________ temperature at which the substance catches fire.
    a) Highest
    b) Lowest
    c) Maximum
    d) Room

    Answer: b) Lowest
    Explanation: The lowest temperature at which a substance catches fire is referred to as its ignition
    temperature.

    Q-3: A mixture of antimony trisulphide, potassium chlorate, and white phosphorus, along with glue and
    starch, was applied to the head of a suitable wood match. Which of the following chemicals ignites
    when struck against a rough surface?
    a) Antimony trisulphide
    b) White Phosphorous
    c) Glue
    d) Starch

    Answer: b) White Phosphorous


    Explanation: The heat of friction caused white phosphorus to ignite when it was struck against a rough
    surface. As a result, the match began to burn.

    Q-4: Which of the following is not an inflammable substance?


    a) Alcohol
    b) Wood
    c) Ethanol
    d) Liquified Petroleum Gas
    Answer: b) Wood
    Explanation: Inflammable substances are those that have a very low ignition temperature and can
    easily catch fire with a flame. Inflammable substances include gasoline, alcohol, and liquefied
    petroleum gas (LPG). Hence, only wood is an inflammable substance.

    Q-5: Which of the following is the best fire extinguisher for electrical equipment and inflammable
    substances?
    a) Water
    b) CO2
    c) O2
    d) All of the above

    Answer: b) CO2
    Explanation: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the best extinguisher for fires involving electrical equipment and
    inflammable materials such as gasoline. Because CO2 is heavier than oxygen, it blankets the fire. The
    fire is under control because the contact between the fuel and the oxygen has been cut off. CO2 has the
    added benefit of not causing damage to electrical equipment in most cases.

    Q-6: Which of the following describes a type of combustion in which a substance suddenly bursts into
    flame without any apparent cause?
    a) Rapid
    b) Explosion
    c) Spontaneous
    d) None of the above

    Answer: c) Spontaneous
    Explanation: The type of combustion in which a material spontaneously bursts into flames without any
    apparent cause is known as spontaneous combustion.
    All other types of combustion, on the other hand, require the application of heat in order to ignite.

    Q-7: Which of the following is not an ideal fuel characteristic?


    a) Costly
    b) Readily available
    c) Easy to transport
    d) High calorific value

    Answer: a) Costly
    Explanation: An ideal fuel is inexpensive, widely available, easily combustible, and portable. It has a
    high calorific value. It emits no gases or residues that pollute the environment.
    Q-8: Which of the following units expresses fuel efficiency in terms of calorific value?
    a) kg/kJ
    b) kJ/kg
    c) J/kg
    d) J/g

    Answer: b) kJ/kg
    Explanation: Fuel efficiency is measured in terms of calorific value, which is measured in kilojoules per
    kilogramme (kJ/kg).

    Q-9: Which of the following does not burn with a flame?


    a) Molten wax
    b) Kerosene oil
    c) Charcoal
    d) Camphor

    Answer: c) Charcoal
    Explanation: The substances that vaporise during combustion produce flames. For example, kerosene
    oil and molten wax rise through the wick and are vapourised during burning and form flames. Charcoal,
    on the other hand, does not. As a result, no flame is produced.

    Q-10: Which of the following is a fuel that is good for the environment and is used in automobiles?
    a) Diesel
    b) Petrol
    c) Natural gas
    d) Petroleum gas

    Answer: c) Natural gas


    Explanation: When carbon-containing fuels such as wood, coal, and petroleum are burned, they
    produce air pollution, respiratory problems, acid rain, and global warming. However, CNG (Compressed
    Natural Gas) is referred to as a cleaner fuel because it emits very little harmful gas.

    Q-11: Which of the following fuels has a calorific value of 45000 kJ/kg?
    a) Cow dung cake
    b) Petrol
    c) LPG
    d) Biogas

    Answer: b) Petrol
    Explanation: Below table shows the calorific value for various different fuels:
    Fuel Calorific Fuel ( kJ/kg)

    Cow dung cake 6000-8000

    Petrol 45000

    LPG 55000

    Biogas 35000-40000

    The table clearly shows that petrol has a calorific value of 45000 kJ/kg.

    Q-12: It is dangerous to burn wood in a room. The gas X produced can be fatal to the person sleeping
    in the room. Identify the gas X.
    a) CO2
    b) SO2
    c) CO
    d) N2

    Answer: c) CO
    Explanation: It is dangerous to burn wood in a room because wood burns incompletely and emits CO
    gas. The CO gas produced is lethal to anyone sleeping in the room.

    Q-13: Which type of combustion is exemplified by the combustion of match sticks?


    a) Explosive combustion
    b) Spontaneous combustion
    c) Rapid combustion
    d) None of the above

    Answer: c) Rapid combustion

    Q-14: Which zone of the candle flame burns with a blue flame?
    a) Outer zone
    b) Middle zone
    c) Innermost zone
    d) All of the above

    Answer: a) Outer zone


    Explanation: A candle flame's outer zone is a zone of complete combustion that burns with a blue
    flame. It's also the hottest area.

    Q-15: Which type of fire can be safely extinguished with water?


    a) Fire caused by petrol
    b) Fire caused by oil
    c) Fire caused by electrical equipment
    d) Fire caused by wood

    Answer: d) Fire caused by wood


    Explanation: Water only works when materials such as wood and paper are on fire. Water may conduct
    electricity and harm those attempting to extinguish a fire if electrical equipment is on fire. Water is
    incompatible with fires involving oil and gasoline because it is heavier than oil and gasoline.

    Q-16: Which of the following substances has the lowest ignition temperature?
    a) Charcoal
    b) Paper
    c) Wood
    d) White Phosphorus

    Answer: d) White Phosphorus


    Explanation: Substances with a lower ignition temperature easily catch fire. White phosphorus has the
    lowest temperature of all, with a temperature of around 30oC.

    Q-17: Which of the following candle flame zones is characterised by the deposition of unburned carbon
    particles?
    a) Luminous zone
    b) Non luminous zone
    c) Middle zone
    d) Outer zone

    Answer: a) Luminous zone


    Explanation: The deposition of unburnt carbon particles is present in the luminous zone of the flame.

    Q-18: Which of the following gases is produced when there is sufficient oxygen supply?
    a) CO
    b) CO2
    c) Both CO and CO2
    d) N2

    Answer: b) CO2
    Explanation: Complete combustion occurs in the presence of sufficient oxygen, resulting in the release
    of carbon dioxide gas.

    Q-19: Which of the following is not a combustible substance?


    a) Iron Rod
    b) Wood
    c) CNG
    d) Paper

    Answer: a) Iron Rod


    Explanation: Combustible substances are those that can be easily burned, whereas non-combustible
    substances are those that cannot be easily burned. Wood, CNG, and paper are combustible materials,
    whereas iron rod is not.

    Q-20: Which of the following are necessary requirements for producing a fire?
    a) Fuel, N2, Heat
    b) CO2, Water, O2 gas
    c) Fuel, O2, Water
    d) Fuel, O2, Heat

    Answer: d) Fuel, O2, Heat


    Explanation: Fuel, air (to supply oxygen), and heat (to raise the temperature) are all required for the
    production of fire.
