INFORMATION:
We have the next options:
And we must select the one that identifies the process when the fuel turns to a gas
STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:
To select the correct option, we need to know that:
- Fossil fuels are formed underground over millions of years, and are composed of organic matter from the tissues of ancient plants and animals.
And the pyrolysis is the chemical decomposition of organic (carbon-based) materials through the application of heat. Pyrolysis, which is also the first step in gasification and combustion, occurs in the absence or near absence of oxygen, and it is thus distinct from combustion (burning), which can take place only if sufficient oxygen is present.
So, with pyrolysis we can convert fuel into their gaseous components.
ANSWER:
Pyrolysis
