III. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each
question below
Hydrogen , the lightest and simplest of the elements has several
properties that make it valuable for many industries . It releases more
heat per unit of weight than any other fuel . In rocket engines , tons of
hydrogen and oxygen are burned and hydrogen is used with oxygen
for welding torch that produce temperatures as high as 4000 degrees
F and can be used in cutting steel . Fuel cells to generate electricity
operate on hydrogen and oxygen .
Hydrogen also serves to prevent metal from tarnishing during heat
treatment by removing the oxygen from them . Although it would be
difficult to remove the oxygen by itself , hydrogen readily combines
with oxygen to form water , which can be heated to steam and easily
removed .
Hydrogen is also useful in the food industry for a process known as
hydrogenation . Products such as margarine and cooking oils are

changed from liquids to semisolids by adding hydrogen to their

molecules . Soap manufactures also use hydrogen for this purpose .
Hydrogen is also one of the coolest refrigerants . It doesn't become a
liquid until it reaches temperature of - 425 degree F . Pure hydrogen
gas is used in large electric generators to cool the coils . In addition ,
in the the chemical industry , hydrogen is used to produce ammonia ,
gasoline , methy alcohol and many other important products .
1. What's the author's main purpose in the passage ?
A. To explain the industrial uses of hydrogen
B. To describe the chemical properties of hydrogen .
C. To discuss hydrogenation
D. To give examples of how hydrogen and ozygen combine
