Answer:

D. Time and pressure changes dead plant material to peat.

Explanation:

There are four steps in the production of coal: peat, lignite, bituminous and anthracite.

Peat: in this stage dead plants are oxidized to water and carbon dioxide and buried under sediments. The partial decomposition of plant matter due to the absence of oxygen is called peat. There is no factor of time and pressure that changes dead plant material to peat.

Lignite: Peat is subjected to heat, pressure, and time to form lignite.

Bituminous: More pressure in lignite removes all the traces of plant matter and form “soft coal”, bituminous coal.

Anthracite: It is the last stage, in which hard coal forms with the combined pressure and high temperature.

Hence, the correct answer is "D. Time and pressure changes dead plant material to peat."

finlep [7]

Answer:

Chemical reaction B, because the product is a compound

Explanation:

A synthesis or combination reaction is that reaction that involves combination of two or more reactants to form a single product. The two or more reactants are often elements that chemically combine to form a single compound.

In this question, two chemical reactions are involved in which chemical reaction A has 1 reactants and 3 products while chemical reaction B has 2 reactants and 1 product.
