Which of the following is a product of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a product of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon?
A. CO₂
B. H₂O
C. CO
D. NaOH
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Incomplete combustion due to insufficient oxygen produces carbon monoxide (CO) and/or soot (C). Complete combustion gives CO₂ and H₂O. CO is poisonous, binds to hemoglobin.

Question #1
Which acid is present in the sting of an ant?
A. Acetic acid
B. Lactic acid
C. Citric acid
D. Methanoic acid

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ant sting contains formic acid (methanoic acid, HCOOH). It causes a burning sensation. It can be neutralized by applying a mild base like baking soda. Acetic acid is in vinegar, citric acid in lemons, lactic acid in curd.

Question #2
The process in which a heavy nucleus splits into two lighter nuclei with the release of enormous energy is called:
A. Transmutation
B. Nuclear fission
C. Radioactive decay
D. Nuclear fusion

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Nuclear fission is a reaction in which the nucleus of a heavy atom (like Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239) splits into two or smaller, lighter nuclei when bombarded by a neutron, releasing a massive amount of energy and more neutrons, potentially causing a chain reaction.

Question #3
Temporary hardness of water can be removed by:
A. Filtration
B. Adding sodium chloride
C. Boiling
D. Adding calcium sulfate

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Boiling converts soluble bicarbonates of Ca and Mg to insoluble carbonates: Ca(HCO₃)₂ (heat) → CaCO₃↓ + H₂O + CO₂, which can then be filtered. Permanent hardness (due to sulfates/chlorides) is not removed by boiling; requires washing soda, ion exchange, or calgon. Calcium sulfate addition would increase permanent hardness. Filtration removes solid particles, not dissolved ions.
