Q5.Read the passage carefully and attempt the questions given below.
A chemical process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give off heat is called
combustion. The substance that undergoes combustion is said to be combustible. It is also
called a fuel. The fuel may be solid, liquid or gas. Sometimes, light is also given off during
combustion, either as a flame or as a glow. The lowest temperature at which a substance
catches fire is called its ignition temperature. The substances which have very low ignition
temperature and can easily catch fire with a flame are called inflammable substances.
Examples of inflammable substances are petrol, alcohol and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).
i) What is a combustible substance?
a) Substance that undergoes combustion
b) Substance that does not undergo combustion
c)Substance that glows
d) All of these
ii) Fuels can be :
a) Solids only
b) Liquids only
c) Gases only
d) All of these
iii) What is ignition temperature?
a) Lowest temperature at which a substance catches fire.
b) Temperature when water boils
c) Temperature at which ice is formed
d) None of these
iv) What are inflammable substances?
a) Substances with low ignition temperature
b) Substances which catches fire easily with a flame
c) Only option a
d) Both a and b
v) Identify the inflammable substance from the following.
a) Soil
b) Water
c) Alcohol
d) Vinegar
