Solution

The correct answer is (d) Heating copper wire in presence of air at high temperature.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. A chemical reaction involves the transformation of one or more substances into new substances with different properties.

  2. Looking at the given options:

    (a) Storing of oxygen gas under pressure in a gas cylinder is a physical process. The oxygen gas remains the same substance whether it is under pressure or not.

    (b) Liquefaction of air is also a physical process. The air is simply changing from one state (gas) to another (liquid), but it is still the same substance.

    (c) Keeping petrol in a china dish in the open is also a physical process. The petrol may evaporate over time, but it is still the same substance.

    (d) Heating copper wire in the presence of air at high temperature is a chemical process. When copper is heated, it reacts with oxygen in the air to form copper oxide. This is a new substance with different properties from the original copper wire.

  3. Therefore, out of the given options, only heating copper wire in the presence of air at high temperature involves a chemical reaction.

Many power plants produce electricity using natural gas, a fuel composed mostly of methane (CH4). These power plants burn methane at high temperatures and pressures, causing it to combine with oxygen (O2) in the air. This creates a mixture of hot gases that includes carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). The energy in this mixture of gases is used to make electricity.In the chemical reaction described in the passage, which of the following are products?
