Answer: D. natural gas

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are the source of energy that are excavated from the deep layers of the earth crust. They are produced after year long microbial activity over the decayed plant and animal matter. Natural gas is the fossil fuel which is a naturally occurring natural gas which primarily consists of methane, but also contains alkanes, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and helium.

It is the most common type of fossil fuel used for heating and cooking purposes. As it is cheapest in price as compared to other fuels and emits less amount of gaseous waste after combustion. Therefore, does not create pollution in house when used for heating and cooking.

The water molecules are not completely removed so additional heating is required.

Explanation:

We have the copper (II) sulfate pentehydrate with the chemical formula CuSO₄ · 5H₂O.

molar mass of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O = 159.6 + 5 × 18 = 249.6 g/mole

Knowing this, we devise the following reasoning:

if in 249.6 g of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O there are 90 g of H₂O

then in 8 g of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O there are Y g of H₂O

Y = (8 × 90) / 249.6 = 2.88 g of water

mass of dried CuSO₄ = mass of CuSO₄ · 5H₂O - mass of H₂O

mass of dried CuSO₄ = 8 - 2.88 = 5.12 g

5.12 g is less that the weighted mass of 6.50 g. We deduce from this that the sample needs additional heating in order to remove all the water (H₂O) molecules.
