The material X is a fossil fuel. It is formed from the buried large land plants (vegetation) by a very slow process Y. When X is heated in the absence of air, it gives three products A, B and C.
A is used in steel making B is used as an industrial fuel, whereas the product C has been traditionally used for metalling the roads. It is now replaced by a petroleum product, bitumen.
Now give the answer of the following questions.
(i) What is the material X ?
(ii) What is the physical state and colour of X ?
(iii) Name the processes Y.
(iv) What are the products A, B and C ?
