Question
Burning of charcoal in a closed room will produce(a) Carbon dioxide (b) Nitrogen dioxide(c) Carbon monoxide (d) All of these
Solution
Burning charcoal in a closed room primarily produces Carbon Monoxide (option c). This is because when charcoal is burnt in a limited supply of oxygen, incomplete combustion occurs, leading to the formation of Carbon Monoxide, a poisonous gas.
While it can also produce Carbon Dioxide (option a) if there is enough oxygen to allow for complete combustion, Nitrogen Dioxide (option b) is not typically a byproduct of burning charcoal. Therefore, the answer is not "All of these" (option d).
So, the correct answer is (c) Carbon Monoxide.
