(c)
When a fuel burns, it combines with oxygen in the air and produces carbon dioxide
and water. When there is not enough oxygen, the fuel burns and also produces carbon
monoxide and carbon particles.

Q12.
One reason the oil industry is important is that it uses crude oil to produce many
of the plastic materials we use in everyday life.
(a) The first stage in the formation of
of a plastic material is called cracking. Butane (C4H10),
a hydrocarbon in crude oil, can be cracked to produce two different
different hydrocarbons, ethane
(C2H6) and ethene (C2H4)
