Michael Faraday discovered benzene in the gas formed from?
Correct answer: A. Destructive distillation
- A. Destructive distillation
- B. Fractional distillation
- C. Steam distillation
- D. Vacuum distillation
Explanation
Michael Faraday discovered benzene in the gas formed from destructive distillation. Destructive distillation is a process in which a substance is heated strongly in the absence of air or oxygen, leading to the breakdown of the compound into smaller, volatile fragments. This process is commonly used to convert complex organic materials, such as coal or wood, into simpler and more useful products. In the case of benzene, it was first discovered by Faraday in the gas produced during the destructive distillation of organic substances.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
