Question

As a car runs out of petrol, what happens to petrol?

• A. It has been converted into other compounds.
• B. It has been destroyed.
• C. It has vapourized.
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A It has been converted into other compounds.

When petrol burns in air, it gets converted into carbon dioxide and water vapour, which come out in the exhaust of the car. The entire mass of elements present in the petrol is still intact, but they are no longer in the petrol tank.
