Understanding Combustion and Chemical Reactions

The video tutorial demonstrates a chemistry experiment involving the burning of sugar. The teacher explains the chemical composition of sugar and the role of oxygen in combustion. By using potassium nitrate, the experiment shows how sugar can burn without air, highlighting the importance of oxygen supply. Safety precautions are emphasized throughout the demonstration.

What safety equipment is mentioned at the beginning of the experiment?

• Face mask

• Safety glasses

• Gloves

• Lab coat

What elements make up sugar?

• Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen

• Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen

• Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen

• Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen

What is left behind when sugar is burned?

• Hydrogen

• Carbon

• Water

• Oxygen

Why doesn't sugar catch fire easily when a match is placed on it?

• It needs more heat

• It lacks oxygen

• It needs more sugar

• It is too wet

What is the role of oxygen in combustion?

• It cools the reaction

• It speeds up the reaction

• It is necessary for the reaction

• It stops the reaction

What does the 'K' in KNO3 stand for?

• Krypton

• Kerosene

• Potassium

• Kalium

What is the purpose of using potassium nitrate in the experiment?

• To provide heat

• To supply oxygen

• To absorb moisture

• To act as a catalyst

What visual effect is observed during the experiment?

• A bubbling effect

• A bright flash

• A loud bang

• A color change

What does the experiment demonstrate about the need for air in combustion?

• Air is essential

• Air is not needed if oxygen is supplied

• Air slows down combustion

• Air changes the color of the flame

What is the main takeaway about oxygen from the experiment?

• A good supply of oxygen is crucial for combustion

• Oxygen is only needed in small amounts

• Oxygen can be replaced by nitrogen

• Oxygen is not important
