Accepted Answer

1. Coke is a grey, hard, and porous fuel with a high carbon content and few impurities, made by heating coal or oil by destructive distillation. It is used in manufacturing of steel.

2. Coal tar is a thick dark liquid which is a by-product of the production of coke and coal gas from coal. And it has unpleasant smell. It is used to obtain naphthalene balls.

3. Coal gas is a mixture of gases chiefly hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide, obtained by the destructive distillation of coal and formerly used for lighting and heating. It is used in fuel industry.

4. The amount of exhaustible resources in nature is limited, they can be exhausted by human activities.

Examples: Forests, coal, petroleum, minerals, wild life, natural gas, etc.

5. Inexhaustible resources are present in unlimited quantity in nature and are not likely to be exhausted by human activities.

6. A fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing organic molecules originating in ancient photosynthesis that release energy in combustion.

7. Natural gas, is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane. It is used in vehicles in the form of CNG for small scale electric power generation.

8. An oil refinery or petroleum refinery is an industrial process plant where crude oil is transformed and refined into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel etc.
