Hints and Solutions MathonGo

Q1 (1)

Biogas is the mixtrue of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen

(anaerobically), primary consisting of methane and carbondioxide. Biogas can be produced from raw material

such as agricultural waste, manure, municiple waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or good waste. Due

to release of CH gas during anaerobic vegetative degradstion which caueses globle warming and cancer.

Q2 (3)

For survival of aquatic life dissolved oxygen is responsible its optimum limit 6.5ppm and optimum limit of
BOD ranges from 10 − 20 ppm & BOD stands for biochemical oxygen demand.

Q3 (3)

Reducing smog as is acts as reducing agent, the reducing character is due to presence of sulphur dioxide and

carbon particles.

Q4 (2)

Both statements are correct

Q5 (2)
