Explanation
For question a, the question asks which non-renewable resource is a mixture of hydrocarbons. Non-renewable resources are natural resources which are irre replaceable over the short term and decrease in availability as they get used. In the context of this question, the non-renewable resource under discussion is an abundant source of hydrocarbons. That resource is petroleum, also known as crude oil.For question b, it asks about the possible molecules that might be present in petroleum. Molecules commonly found in petroleum are essentially all hydrocarbon molecule types. Hydrocarbons are composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen atoms; they include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatics.
