Which one of the following processes involve chemical reactions?
(a) Storing of oxygen gas under pressure in a gas cylinder
(b) Liquefaction of air
(c) Keeping petrol in a china dish in the open
(d) Heating copper wire in presence of air at high temperature
Correct Answer: (d) Heating copper wire in presence of air at high temperature
Explanation: In first three options given above, a chemical reaction does not take place as no new product is formed. When copper is heated in the presence of air at high-temperature copper undergoes oxidation reaction to give out copper oxide.
