Coal can be converted to petroleum by:
Correct answer: B. Destructive distillation
- A. Haber process
- B. Destructive distillation
- C. Fischer - Tropsch process
- D. Fractional distillation
Explanation
Coal can be converted to petroleum through a process known as destructive distillation. In this process, coal is heated in the absence of air, causing it to break down into various volatile components, including gases, tars, and oils. These products can be further processed to obtain liquid fuels similar to petroleum. Therefore, option b is correct.
