Though others made a similar innovation elsewhere, the large scale introduction of this was the work of William Murdoch, an employee of Boulton and Watt, the Birmingham steam engine pioneers. The process consisted of the large scale gasification of coal in furnaces, the purification of the gas (removal of sulphur, ammonia, and heavy hydrocarbons), and its storage and distribution. The first gas lighting utilities were established in London between 1812-20. They soon became one of the major consumers of coal in the UK. Gas lighting had an impact on social and industrial organisation because it allowed factories and stores to remain open longer than with tallow candles or oil. Its introduction allowed night life to flourish in cities and towns as interiors and streets could be lighted on a larger scale than before. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage? OPTIONS     1) The introduction of gas lighting had a positive impact on industrial organisation.   2) Bolton and Watt, the steam engine pioneers, were also responsible for the widespread use of gas lighting.   3) Impure coal was a better emitter of light than pure coal.   4) There was no night life in cities and towns before gas light.   5) Removal of sulphur, ammonia and heavy hydrocarbons made the gas useless. discuss | yesterday's solution | more questions Tip of the Day Know each point and every word in your biodata by heart.
