MCQ
Harish performed two different experiments $I$ and $II$. In experiment $I$, he provides a substance $'X$? with some heat. He found out that a sudden reaction takes place to form heat, light, and sound. In experiment $II$, he provides heat to a substance $'Y$?. He found out that when $Y$ bums, only heat and light are produced. Experiment $I$ represents an example of __$i$__, and experiment II represents an example of __$ii$___. The information in which alternative completes the given statement?
  • $i$-Explosion, $ii$-Rapid combustion.
  • B
    $i$-Explosion, $ii$-Sportaneous combustion.
  • C
    $i$-Spontaneous combustion,$ii$-Explosion.
  • D
    $i$-Rapid combustion, $ii$-Spontaneous combustion.

Answer

Correct option: A.
$i$-Explosion, $ii$-Rapid combustion.
A substance when burns to produce huge amount of heat, light, and sound represents an example of explosion. On the other hand, when a substance burns rapidly to produce huge amount of heat and light represents an example of rapid combustion. Hence, experiment I represents an explosion, whereas experiment II represents a rapid combustion.
