Class 8: Coal and Petroleum

Class-8th Science Playlist-    • Class 8 Science (2024-25)  

Welcome to "SyllabuswithRohit"! In this video, we will explore Chapter 3, "Coal and Petroleum," from the Class 8 NCERT Science book.
What You Will Learn:

Introduction to Fossil Fuels:
Fossil fuels are natural fuels formed from the remains of living organisms that lived millions of years ago. These include coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Over time, heat and pressure from the Earth’s crust transformed these remains into the fuels we use today.

Types of Coal:
Peat: The first stage of coal formation, which has low carbon content and high moisture.
Lignite: Also known as brown coal, it has more carbon than peat but less than bituminous coal.
Bituminous: The most common type of coal used for electricity generation, it has a higher carbon content.
Anthracite: The highest grade of coal with the most carbon and the least impurities, making it the most efficient for heating.

Uses of Coal:
Electricity Generation: Most power plants burn coal to produce electricity.
Industrial Uses: Used in steel production and as a fuel in various industries.
By-products:
Coke: Used in steel manufacturing.
Coal Tar: Used to make products like dyes, drugs, and explosives.
Coal Gas: Used as a fuel for lighting and heating.

Petroleum and its Products:
What is Petroleum?: A thick, black liquid found deep beneath the Earth’s surface, also known as crude oil.
Extraction and Refining: Extracted through drilling and refined to separate it into useful products.
Products Derived from Petroleum:
Petrol: Used in vehicles.
Diesel: Used in heavy machinery and vehicles.
Kerosene: Used in stoves and jet engines.
Paraffin Wax: Used in candles and cosmetics.
Lubricating Oil: Used to reduce friction in machines.

Natural Gas:
Importance: A cleaner fuel compared to coal and petroleum, used in homes and industries.
Uses: For cooking, heating, electricity generation, and as a fuel for vehicles (CNG).

Conservation of Fossil Fuels:
Why Save Fossil Fuels?: They are non-renewable resources that take millions of years to form and are depleting rapidly.
Tips for Conservation:
Use energy-efficient appliances.
Opt for public transport or carpooling.
Encourage the use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind.

Additional Features:

Simple explanations with easy-to-understand language.
Visual aids and diagrams to help you grasp the concepts better.
Real-life examples to show the importance of coal and petroleum.
