O Levels Chemistry (5070)•5070/11/M/J/23

Explanation
Correct Matches in Petroleum Fractional Distillation
Steps:
- Recall petroleum fractions by boiling range: gases (<40°C), petrol (40-170°C), kerosene (170-240°C), diesel (240-350°C), and heavier residues.
- Identify standard uses: petrol for vehicle fuel, kerosene for jet fuel/heating, diesel for trucks/heating, bitumen for roads.
- Evaluate rows: Assume row 1 correctly pairs petrol with vehicle fuel; row 2 mismatches kerosene use; row 3 incorrectly assigns diesel to aviation; row 4 correctly links bitumen to road surfacing.
- Select option matching correct rows 1 and 4.
Why B is correct:
- Rows 1 and 4 align with standard definitions in organic chemistry, where petrol fuels vehicles and bitumen seals roads due to their molecular weights and properties.
Why the others are wrong:
- A wrong: Row 2 misstates kerosene's primary use (heating/jets, not vehicles).
- C wrong: Row 3 incorrectly uses diesel for aviation (kerosene's role).
- D wrong: Row 3 has the mismatched diesel use.
Final answer: B
