UPSSSC PET 2025 (7 Sept Shift 1)
When natural gas (methane) burns in the oxygen of air, what are the products formed ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)View answer ▾Hide ▴
Answer: Option B — Carbon dioxide and water vapour
Detailed Solution
Methane burns completely in oxygen: , giving carbon dioxide and water vapour with heat and light. Because combustion is complete, carbon monoxide is not formed.

Carbon & Organic Chemistry — UPSSSC PET Preparation
This question tests your understanding of Carbon & Organic Chemistry, a key topic in the UPSSSC PET General Knowledge section. The detailed solution above uses a step-by-step approach to show the reasoning, and where available, a shortcut that helps you solve similar questions in under 90 seconds during the actual exam.
This topic covers carbon and its compounds: the allotropes of carbon (diamond, graphite and fullerenes), hydrocarbons, functional groups, the nomenclature of simple organic compounds, alcohols and acids, soaps and detergents, polymers and plastics. Questions commonly ask which allotrope of carbon conducts electricity (graphite), which is the hardest natural substance (diamond), what the main component of natural gas is (methane), and how soaps differ from detergents. Know the monomers of common polymers, such as ethylene for polythene, and which plastics are thermoplastics and which are thermosetting. Practise the carbon and organic chemistry questions below, written in the style of the general awareness sections of exams such as SSC, banking, railways, CUET GAT, MAH CET and CLAT. Each question comes with a detailed explanation that adds related facts, so every question helps you revise more than one point.
