The Indian ambient air quality standards prescribe the same concentration allowances for sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.

The Indian ambient air quality standards prescribe the same concentration allowances for sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. Correct Answer True

The standards for sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides (including other nitrogen oxides) concentrations set by the India ambient air quality standards are the same. This is true for the three categories (industrial, residential, sensitive) and annual and daily averages.

A passage with three blanks,followed by five options, each containingone word, is given. Choose the word thatcan fill all the three blanks.
Emission ____________ are the legalrequirements governing air pollutantsreleased into the atmosphere. Emission___________ set quantitative limits onthe permissible amount of specific airpollutants that may be released fromspecific sources over specifictimeframes. They are generallydesigned to achieve air qualitystandards and to protect human life.Many emissions ____________ focus onregulating pollutants released byautomobiles (motor cars) and otherpowered vehicles. Others regulateemissions from industry, power plants,small equipment such as lawn mowersand diesel generators, and other sourcesof air pollution. While this have beenused to dictate limits for conventionalpollutants such as oxides of nitrogen andoxides of sulphur (NOx and SOx), thisregulatory technique may be used toregulate greenhouse gasses, particularlycarbon dioxide (CO2). In the US, this isgiven in pounds of carbon dioxide permegawatt-hour (lbs. CO2/MWhr), andkilograms CO2/MWhr elsewhere.
In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the following suggested courses of actions logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: High-sulphur fuel oil (HSFO), essentially the leftovers of an oil refiner's output, will still flow from refineries around the world even after new rules start up in 2020 curtailing its use in the global shipping fleet.Sixty percent of the 33 refineries in a global survey will still produce HSFO in 2020 although the supply will tighten as 70 percent of these refiners plan to reduce their output.  Courses of action: I. Starting that year, ships will use marine fuel, which primarily consists of residual fuel oil, with a maximum sulphur content of 0.5 percent under International Maritime Organization (IMO) rules to reduce air pollution.  II. Currently, the global shipping fleet, which includes oil and chemical tankers as well as container ships, uses as much as 3.3 million barrels per day of HSFO with a maximum of 3.5 percent sulphur.  III. Refiners will have little incentive to produce HSFO after the regulations though some demand will remain as a small but growing number of vessels are fitted with smokestack scrubbers that remove the sulphur from the exhaust fumes and power plants will continue to consume the fuel.

Which of the following is correct with regarding the formation of Nitrogen? I. Nitrogen is obtained by liquefaction and fractional distillation of air. II. Nitrogen is obtained by reacting an aqueous solution of Ammonium chloride with Sodium Nitrite. III. Decomposition of Sodium or Barium Azide at high-temperature results in the formation of pure Nitrogen. IV Nitrogen is not soluble in water.
In order to prepare Lithium nitride, air is passed gently over a reactor. Suppose that Nitrogen diffuse to a length 5cm before getting reacted with Lithium. Nitrogen reacts with lithium quickly so that partial pressure of Nitrogen at that point is 0. Reactor is a cylinder of length 10cm and diameter 2cm. Assume air to be a mixture of Nitrogen and Oxygen only. The temperature is 298K and total pressure 1atm. Diffusivity of N2 in O2 is 2*10-5m2/s. Calculate the Molar flux (mol/m2.s) of N2 at a distance of 2.5cm from the top with respect to an observer moving with twice the mass average velocity a direction towards the liquid surface. (R=8.205*10-5m3atmK-1mol-1). Assume z=0 at the top of the reactor.
