Class 6 Science Chapter 11 MCQ

Bubbles of air came out from the bottle and some water entered into the bottle, when it was tilted.

As we go up above the sea level, the atmospheric pressure goes on decreasing and the amount of oxygen also decreases at higher altitude. This is why, mountaineers carry oxygen, cylinders with them.

If burning coal is covered with a vessel, it stops burning after sometime. This is because when we cover the burning coal with a vessel, then the supply of oxygen of fresh air to the burning coal is cutoff. And in the absence of oxygen or air, the coal stops burning. The coal fire gets extinguished.

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Air also helps in the flight of birds and aeroplanes.

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Air is present everywhere even in the soil. Oxygen is trapped in the soil and is helpful for organisms present in the soil for breathing.

The major part of air which support burning candle, is oxygen not nitrogen.

Here, all these statements are incorrect. Hence, your answer will be option [D]. In option [A]: Air helps in the dispersal of seeds and pollen of flowers of several plants. In option [B]: Air has role for burning of phosphorus. Thus phosphorus reacts with air. In option [C]: Air has big role for flying aeroplanes and helicopters.

Air plays an important role in the water cycle because hot air, being lighter, rises up and carries the water vapour high up in the sky and helps in the bringing rain.

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Here, all these statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].

Wind does not help in movement of ceiling fan. It rotates by electricity.

The bubbles contain air because soil absorbs some amount of air. The air is present in the spaces between the soil particles.

Nitrogen and oxygen gases taken together make up about 99% of air. Thus, air is a mixture of many gases. Generally, air is mainly a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases with small amounts of carbon dioxide gas, water vapour and other gases. And some dust particles may also be present in air. Air contains 78 % nitrogen, 21% oxygen and remaining 1% contains carbon di oxide, water vapor, dust particles and other gases.

The components of air which is utilized by the plants in respiration is oxygen. Thus, animal depends on plants for getting oxygen gas for reparation or breathing and plants depend on animals for getting carbon dioxide gas for photosynthesis only in day time or presence of sunlight, but respiration occurs always (day-night) in plants.

When the candle burns, then oxygen of air in the gas jar is used up and carbon dioxide gas is formed. This carbon dioxide gas is absorbed or dissolved by the caustic soda solution in the trough. The absorption of carbon dioxide gas by caustic soda solution creates a vacuum or low pressure in the gas jar. The water rises up in the gas jar to fill this vacuum.

All the living things need nitrogen compounds for their growth. Plants use nitrogen gas of the air to make proteins. These proteins are used by the plants for their own growth as well as for the growth of human beings and other animals. Thus, nitrogen is needed by plants to make proteins.

Air is a mixture of many gases. Generally, air is mainly a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases with small amounts of carbon dioxide gas, water vapour and other gases. And some dust particles may also be present in air. Air contains 78 % nitrogen, 21% oxygen and remaining 1% contains carbon di oxide, water vapor, dust particles and other gases.

The composition of air is not always exactly the same. The composition of air changes slightly from place to place and the season to season. For example, the air over in industrial cities usually has a higher amount of carbon dioxide in it, than the air over open spaces. The air in coastal areas may have more water vapour than inland areas. The air also contains more water vapour in rainy season. Similarly, the amount of dust in the air is more in windy places than other places.

Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gas (domestic or bottled), coal, oil, coke and wood. Gas stoves, fires, heating boilers, gas-powered water heaters, paraffin heaters, and solid fuel-powered water heaters are all potential sources of carbon monoxide. Air do not contain these types of gases. Air is a mixture of many gases. Generally, air is mainly a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gases with small amounts of carbon dioxide gas, water vapour and other gases. And some dust particles may also be present in air. Remember the composition of air is not always exactly the same.

We know that water does not enter the bottle when it is in an inverted position, as there was no space for air to escape. When the bottle was tilted, the air was able to come out in the form of bubbles, and water filled up the empty space that the air has occupied. This activity shows that air occupies space. It fills all the space in the bottle.

If we find out that there is air in a sponge, we should squeeze the sponge in water. The air present in sponge, the bubbles comes out from the sponge when we squeeze it in water. The air shows as form of the bubbles which is present in sponge.

We get oxygen, fuel and food from plants, except carbon dioxide. Animal depends on plants for getting oxygen gas and plants depend on animals for getting carbon dioxide gas.

When the burning clothes of a person are covered with woolen blanket, then the supply of fresh air is cut off and hence the clothes stops burning or the fire gets extinguished. The three things which are essential to ignite any fire. As oxygen, heat, and fuel are frequently referred to as the “fire triangle.” The important thing to remember is: take any of these four things away, and you will not have a fire or the fire will be extinguished. Remember, wool is comparatively capable to trap much more air than any others fibres. And fire will be stop due to lack of oxygen.
