What is Pyrolysis ?
Answer: A
Pyrolysis is the decomposition of solid organic matter by heat.
When a solid such as wood or plastic is heated, it breaks down chemically into volatile, combustible gases and a carbon-rich char, with little or no oxygen involved. These gases then burn in the flame. Pyrolysis is therefore the step that lets a solid fuel feed a fire, and pyrolysis-GC is used to identify polymers and paints.
Evaporation of a liquid is a physical change, the red glow of charcoal is glowing (smouldering) combustion, and the burning of a cigarette is a smouldering fire. None of these is the thermal decomposition itself.
