Q 43questions in details [4 marks ]4 Marks
The fossil fuel $P$ is formed under the earth by the decomposition of vegetable matter lying under water by the action of anaerobic bacteria. The major component of fuel $P$ is $Q$. The fossil fuel $P$ is used as a source of gas $R$ needed to manufacture nitrogenous fertilisers. When $P$ is filled in metal cylinders and used as a fuel in motor vehicles, it is called $S$. What are $P, Q, R$ and $S?$

Q 44questions in details [4 marks ]4 Marks
The substance $W$ is a fossil fuel. It occurs deep below the ground in certain areas of the earth. Another fossil fuel $X$ is found trapped above the deposits of $W$. When $W$ is subjected to a process called $Y$, then a number of different products are collected at different temperature ranges which are put to different uses. A special grade of product $Z$ obtained in this way is used as aviation fuel in jet aeroplanes.
$a.$ What are $(i) W$, and $(ii) X ?$
$b.$ What is the physical state of $(i) W$, and $(ii) X ?$
$c.$ Name the process $Y.$
$d.$ Name the product $Z.$
