Solution
In troposphere, the two types of pollutants are?
A
Gaseous and particulate pollutants
B
Carbon and metallic pollutants
C
Natural and man-made pollutants
D
Sulphuric and nitrogenous pollutants
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
- The troposphere is the first and lowest layer of the atmosphere of the Earth.
- Gases mix at this layer.
- Weather occurs here
- Region where plants and animals breathe and live
- Tropospheric pollution is caused due to the presence of unwanted gaseous or solid components in the air.

Water, Solutions & Solubility
Solution
A solution contains 20g of solute in 180g of solvent. If the solvent is water, what is the concentration of the solution in terms of mass by mass percentage
A
11.%
B
22.2%
C
10%
D
20%
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Mass of Solution = Mass of Solute + Mass of Solvent → 20g + 180g
: Mass of Solution = 200g
Mass Percent = \(\frac{Mass of Solute}{Mass of Solution} * 100%\)
Mass percent = \(\frac{20}{200} * 100%\)
Mass percent = 10%

Which of the following oxide causes acid rain?
A
CO
B
NO
C
\(H_2\)\(O_2\)
D
N\(O_2\)
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents.
The SO2 and NOX react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids.
