Answer:

Fossil fuel

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are obtained from dead and decomposed plants and animal remains left for centuries in the earth crust under pressure. These remains of organisms become covered with mud, silt and other sediments.

As the sediments pilled up under pressure, bacterial activity, heat and pressure changed these remains into natural gas and crude oil.

They are nonrenewable resources because the reserves could dry up with time as they are being used.

F2 is light yellow/colorless in hydrocarbon solvent. I2 is pink. If a student combines fluorine water with NaI (sodium iodide) i
Tamiku [17]
F₂ + 2 NaI → 2 NaF + I₂
<span>It is given that F₂ is light yellow / colorless in hydrocarbon solvent. The student combines Fluorine water with NaI in water. Then student adds pentane in the mixture of F₂ and NaI. After dissolution, solution was observed and a colorless pentane layer was seen. Alkanes are unreactive in nature. The C-H bond in alkane is difficult to break. whereas, F₂ is very reactive and reacts vigorously with alkanes in presence of light by free radical mechanism.It is given that the color of the solution is nearly colorless. F₂ when present in hydrocarbon solvent is light yellow/ colorless/ nearly colorless. Hence, F₂ is not reacting with hydrocarbon and there is no reaction taking place (No F</span>₂ is present<span>)</span>
