Coal tar (produced by high temperature carbonization) is the main source of_________?
Correct answer: C. Aromatic compounds
- A. Paraffins
- B. Aliphatic compounds
- C. Aromatic compounds
- D. Olefins
Explanation
High-temperature carbonization of coal produces coal tar rich in benzene, toluene, naphthalene, phenols, and other aromatic compounds. It is therefore a major historical source of aromatics rather than paraffins or olefins.
