Solids are the substances that have fixed shape and volume. However, liquids are the only substances that have no fixed shape but have a fixed volume. So,kerosene is a liquid.
So, the correct option is B.

A
are man-made and produced in factories.

B
take only few hours to form.

C
are obtained from non-living things.

D
are obtained from dead remains of living organisms.

Solution

(d) Fossil fuels are the fuels that are present beneath the earth in raw form. These are made after many years of decompositions of dead remains of living beings by natural processes. Petroleum, Coal, etc. are examples of fossil fuels.

A
unlimited in quantity.

B
cannot be exhausted by human activities.

C
limited in quantity.

none of these

Solution

Exhaustible natural resources are the resources that decrease after every use because these are $$\text{limited in quantity}$$ and take a long time to be replaced by natural processes.
Question 5

Which of the following is not a constituent of petroleum

A
Paraffin wax

B
Petrol

C
Lubricating oil

D

A
It is difficult to transport natural gas through pipes.

B
The disadvantage of natural gas is that it cannot be used directly for burning in homes.

C
Natural gas is stored under high pressure as compressed natural gas.

D
Natural gas cannot be used for power generation.

Solution

Compressed natural gas or CNG is simply natural gas mainly comprised of methane that is stored under high pressures (while remaining in its gaseous form).

Natural gas is used for electricity generation. Transporting natural gases through pipes is easy. In many places, it is used directly in homes to burn and cook food.
Question 9
1 / -0

Petroleum was formed from organisms:

A
living on the land

B
living in the sea

C
Both A and B

D
None of these

Solution

Petroleum was formed from organisms living in the sea. As these organisms died, their bodies settled at the bottom of the sea and got covered with layers of sand and clay. Over millions of years, absence of air, high temperature and high pressure transformed the dead organisms into petroleum and natural gas.
Question 10
1 / -0

The process by which decayed plants slowly convert into coal is called____

A
petrification

B
carbonisation

C
carbonification

D
fermentation

Solution

The slow process by which the dead plants or vegetation are buried deep under the earth and slowly converted to coal is called $$\text{carbonisation}$$. Since coal was formed from the remains of plants, therefore, coal is called fossil fuel.

Hence, option $$B$$ is correct.
