Question-1

Which one of the following pairs of gases are the major cause of "greenhouse effect"?

(a)

(b)

(c)

Answer: (d)

Nitrous oxide is commonly known as laughing gas or sweet air. It is a chemical compound with formula $N_2O$. It is also a major greenhouse gas and air pollutant along with $CO_2$ with tremendous global warming potential. When compared to $CO_2, N_2O$ has 310 times the ability to trap heat in the atmosphere. $N_2$O is produced naturally in the soil during the microbial processes of nitrification and denitrification. Carbon dioxide from coal-fired power stations and car exhausts, is the main greenhouse gas.

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

Catalytic converters contain costly metals like rhodium and platinum-palladium as catalysts, and when exhaust gases passes to fitted catalytic converter, the unburnt hydro carbons that are oxidised into water and carbon dioxide.
