this process is used to obtain lighter hydocarbons like petrol from heavier ones like grease
Cracking the process of breaking down large hydrocarbon molecules (which has long chains of carbon atoms like the octanes into smaller ones like methane),simply put it is used to obtain petrol,kerosene,diesel & the likes from heavier ones like grease,vaseline.there are 3 types of cracking,thermal cracking,steam cracking & catalytic cracking (in the presence of acid catalyst). C cracking is the correct answer.
cracking is the process of breaking higher hydrocarbon into smaller forms by making use of two method-thermal cracking & catalytic cracking
WEN HEAT Is release in a reaction ....it is said to be EXOTHERMIC bt wen heat is abdorbed .....it is said to endothermic.....
Thermal cracking involves the use of heat at high temperature to breakdown hydrocarbons of high carbon atoms into simple and more useful forms.temp. About 2000-2500 degree celcius.
Cracking is the breaking down of large hydrocarbon into simpler ones usin heat in the presence of a catalyst.
Cracking is define as d process by which heavier hydrocarbon are split or breakdown into smaller hydrocarbon molecules
The process is used to increase the quantity of petrol and the types of cracking are thermal, catalytic cracking and steam cracking but only the first two are used industrially.
The process is known as cracking. Specifically, when large hydrocarbon molecules are heated at high temperatures in the presence of a catalyst to break them into smaller molecules, it is referred to as catalytic cracking. This is commonly used in the petroleum industry to produce gasoline, diesel, and other valuable by-products from larger hydrocarbons like crude oil.
cracking is the breaking down of largerer hydrocarbons into smaller bits .there are two types the type mentioned in the question is catalytic cracking
thermal cracking is the breaking down of a compound by the action of heat while catalytic cracking is the breaking down of compound in the presence of a catalyst.catalytic cracking is prefer to thermal cracking because it can be use to obtain desire products of certain chain lengths while thermal cracking is not particularly effective bcos there is a poor control over the cracking patterns to yield alkane of desirable chain length
d catalyst helps in breaking d larger hydrocarbons 2 smaller molecules at a faster rate
Crackin is d breakin down of polymers to monomers or in smaller quantities such as lubricating oil,diesel,kerosene,coal e.t.c
Cracking is the breaking down or heavier or bigger hydrocarbons into lighter or smaller hydrocarbon in the presence of a catalyst (heat).
