Answer:

  • What is decomposition of oil?

The decomposition reactions were assumed to occur in the vapor phase. Therefore, when exposed to localized higher temperatures, the oil compounds evaporate and decompose into lighter species that dissolve in the liquid phase after equilibrium in the gas phase is achieved. No further reactions occur in the liquid phase.

  • What is oil formed from?
  • Petroleum, also called crude oil, is a fossil fuel. Like coal and natural gas, petroleum was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria.
  • When was oil formed?
  • Most of it formed during the Mesozoic era, which happened between 252 and 66 million years ago. The final 20 percent formed during the Cenozoic age, roughly 65 million years ago.
