(d)
1 (refinery gas); 2 (petrol; naphtha); 3 (kerosene); 4 (gas oil)
(e)
Most of the residue is burnt directly as fuel oil in large furnaces such as those in power stations or big ships. A small proportion of it is vacuum distilled to give lubricating oils, waxes and bitumen (for surfacing roads).
(f)
Fraction 2; petrol as motor car fuel, naphtha to produce town gas and alkenes (for preparing many useful chemicals)
(g)
It is immiscible with water and has a density less than 1 g cm−3, hence it forms a layer on the surface of water, suffocating the larvae. Fraction 2 would not be suitable, as it is volatile and will easily evaporate away.

Temperature can be assumed to be about the same since the three places are near the Equator. Rates of corrosion are different due to different environments and therefore different amounts of pollutants.
Amount of pollutants is the greatest in an industrial area (place C) with all its industrial plants, factories and ©Aristo Educational Press Ltd. 2004

motor cars. Amount of pollutants is the least in rural area (place B), where there are no industrial plants and few motor cars. Amount of pollutants is medium in urban area (place A) due to the large number of motor cars. 13.
(a)
Sulphur dioxide is the main pollutant which causes acid rain. Coal-fired power stations in Hong Kong are major sources of sulphur dioxide. To greatly reduce the amount of sulphur dioxide given out, more expensive high-grade fuel (with low sulphur content) should be used. Also, the power stations should be installed with scrubbers. However, the installation and maintenance cost a lot of money. The price of electricity would surely go up.
(b)
Some would be willing to pay, some would not. Some people are well aware of the importance of environmental protection. However, others may think that the acid rain problem is not yet serious in Hong Kong at present, and it is not worthwhile to pay any additional charges.
14.
(a)
Coal is used as fuel in the industrial plant. When the fuel is burnt, the sulphur it contains turns to sulphur dioxide. Besides, some nitrogen dioxide is also produced during burning. Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide emitted from the industrial plant escape into the atmosphere directly above and are blown by the wind from the southwest. These pollutants combine with rainwater to form acid rain (which is likely to have a pH of 4) that falls on X.
(b)
Y. Not at X. The acid rain would harm the rice. Y is near a pier (ease of transportation).
15.
(a)
If the atmosphere was thicker, we would have more of an insulating ‘blanket’ to provide a thermal balance. As a result: the average daytime temperature would be lower.

(e)
Nuclear power Reasons: (1)
The public have become increasingly aware of the potential dangers associated with
nuclear power. Many people object to building of new nuclear plants. (2)
Keen competition in the energy market (the main competitor being power stations
generating electricity from natural gas)
