Question

The product obtained by the dry distillation of coal is ____________.

• A. natural gas
• B. water gas
• C. producer gas
• D. coal gas

Answer 1

The correct option is D coal gas

The process by which organic substances such as wood, coal, and oil shale are broken down by heat in the absence of air is called as dry distillation. This causes them to break down into solids, liquids, and gases, which are then used to make products such as coke, charcoal, oils, and ammonia.

Thus option D is correct.
