Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following gases is the main contributor to the enhanced greenhouse effect?

  1. nitrogen
  2. oxygen
  3. carbon dioxide
  4. argon
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: Ccarbon dioxide
Award 1 mark for C. A is incorrect because nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere but does not absorb infrared radiation. B is incorrect because oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. D is incorrect because argon is a noble gas that does not absorb infrared radiation.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which property of carbon dioxide makes it an effective greenhouse gas?

  1. It is denser than air
  2. It absorbs infrared radiation
  3. It is soluble in water
  4. It is produced by respiration
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BIt absorbs infrared radiation
Award 1 mark for B. The ability to absorb and re-emit infrared radiation is the defining property of greenhouse gases. A is incorrect because density does not determine greenhouse properties. C is incorrect because solubility is not related to greenhouse effect. D is incorrect because the source of the gas does not determine its greenhouse properties.

CIE IGCSE Chemistry: Greenhouse effect, climate change and carbon footprint FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Chemistry questions on Greenhouse effect, climate change and carbon footprint are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Greenhouse effect, climate change and carbon footprint for CIE IGCSE Chemistry, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Chemistry?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Greenhouse effect, climate change and carbon footprint practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Greenhouse effect, climate change and carbon footprint questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Greenhouse effect, climate change and carbon footprint typically tested on CIE IGCSE Chemistry papers?
Greenhouse effect, climate change and carbon footprint appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Chemistry papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
