- ✓Alkanes
- BAromatic compounds
- CAlcohols
- DAliphatic acids
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Alkanes
a
Kerosene is a thin, clear liquid formed from hydrocarbons obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum between $150^{\circ} C$ and $275^{\circ} C$, resulting in a mixture with a density of $0.78-0.81\, g / cm ^3$.It is composed of carbon chains that typically contain between $6$ and $16$ carbon atoms per molecule. It is miscible in petroleum solvents but immiscible in water. Kerosene's major components are branched and straight chain alkanes and naphthenes (cycloalkanes), which normally account for at least $70 \,\%$ by volume.
