The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the products of fractional distillation of petroleum, we need to identify what W, X, Y, and Z represent based on their uses. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fractional Distillation of Petroleum**: - Fractional distillation is a process used to separate a mixture into its component parts (fractions) based on different boiling points. Petroleum is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, and through this process, various useful products are obtained. 2. **Identifying W (Fuel for Light Vehicles)**: - Light vehicles typically use petrol (gasoline) as fuel. Therefore, W is identified as **Petrol**. 3. **Identifying X (Fuel for Jet Aircraft)**: - Jet aircraft commonly use kerosene as fuel. This type of kerosene is often referred to as aviation fuel. Thus, X is identified as **Kerosene**. 4. **Identifying Y (Used in Ointments)**: - Paraffin wax is commonly used in the preparation of ointments and other cosmetic products. Therefore, Y is identified as **Paraffin Wax**. 5. **Identifying Z (Used in Heavier Vehicles)**: - Heavier vehicles, such as trucks and buses, typically use diesel as fuel. Thus, Z is identified as **Diesel**. ### Final Answer: - W = Petrol - X = Kerosene - Y = Paraffin Wax - Z = Diesel
