LPG is obtained during the process of oil refining. It is compressed under high pressure and supplied to households in cylinders in a liquid form. CNG is obtained along with the mixture of different fuels which is extracted from oil well. CNG is also sold in cylinders, compressed into a liquid form.
Mark the correct statement.

A

LPG burns in liquid form in the kitchen.

B

LPG is mainly used in vehicles.

C

CNG is mainly used to run the vehicles.

D

LPG can be stored in a plastic container.

The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct statement regarding LPG and CNG, let's analyze the information provided step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding LPG - LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas. It is a mixture of propane and butane. - LPG is stored in cylinders as a liquid but is used in a gaseous state when it is released from the cylinder. **Hint:** Remember that LPG is stored in liquid form but used in gas form. ### Step 2: Uses of LPG - LPG is primarily used for household purposes, especially for cooking in kitchens. - It is not mainly used in vehicles, which is a common misconception. **Hint:** Think about where you commonly see LPG being used. ### Step 3: Storage of LPG - LPG is not stored in plastic containers; it is stored in metal cylinders designed to withstand high pressure. - This ensures safety and prevents leaks. **Hint:** Consider the materials that can safely hold gases under pressure. ### Step 4: Understanding CNG - CNG stands for Compressed Natural Gas. It is primarily used as a fuel for vehicles. - CNG is derived from natural gas and is stored in high-pressure cylinders. **Hint:** Recall the primary use of CNG and how it differs from LPG. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: 1. LPG burns in liquid form in the kitchen - **False** (it is used in gaseous form). 2. LPG is mainly used in vehicles - **False** (it is primarily for household use). 3. LPG can be stored in plastic containers - **False** (it is stored in metal cylinders). 4. CNG is mainly used to run vehicles - **True** (this statement is correct). ### Final Answer The correct statement is: **CNG is mainly used to run vehicles.**

Extraction of copper is done using copper pyrites. After roasting, the ore is mixed with silica and coke and then smelted in a blast furnace. The matte obtained from the blast furnace is charged into a silica-lined converter. Some silica is also added, and a hot air blast is blown into the mixture to obtain blister copper, which is purified by electrorefining. The chemical composition of the slag formed during smelting is.

Gaseous fuels due to their advantages over ther tupes of fuels are becoming highly popular . The advantages fo the fgaseous fuels are as follows : a. High calorigic value . b. Do not produce smoke and do not leave ash after combstion . c. They can flow through pipes and can be ignige at a moment's notic eat any place . No sp-ecial devices are required for their combustion . i. Coal gas is a good gaseous fuel as it conitains 95^5 combustible gaseous such as H_2, CH_4, CO etc , It is obtained buy destructive distillation of coal at 100^@ C . ii.

A cylindrical container of height 3L and cross sectional area A is fitted with a smooth movable piston of negligible weight. It contains an ideal diatomic gas. Under normal atmospheric pressure P_(0) the piston stays in equilibrium at a height L above the base of the container. The gas chamber is provided with a heater and a copper coil through which a cold liquid can be circulated to extract heat from the gas. Volume occupied by the heater and the liquid coil is negligible. Following set of operations are performed to take the gas through a cyclic process. (1) Heater is switched on. At the same time a tap above the cylinder is opened. Water fills slowly in the container above the piston and it is observed that the piston does not move. Water is allowed to fill the container so that the height of water column becomes L. Now the tap is closed. (2) The heater is kept on and the piston slowly moves up. Heater is switched off at the time water is at brink of overflowing. (3) Now the cold liquid is allowed to pass through the coil. The liquid extracts heat from the gas. Water is removed from the container so as to keep the position of piston fixed. Entire water is removed and the gas is brought back to atmospheric pressure. (4) The circulation of cold liquid is continued and the piston slowly falls down to the original height L above the base of the container. Circulation of liquid is stopped. Assume that the container is made of adiabatic wall and density of water is rho . Force on piston due to impact of falling water may be neglected. (a) Draw the entire cycle on a P–V graph. (b) Find the amount of heat supplied by the heater and the amount of heat extracted by the cold liquid from the gas during the complete cycle.
