MCQ
Liquid hydrocarbons can be converted to a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons by
- Aoxidation
- ✓cracking
- Cdistillation under reduced pressure
- Dhydrolysis.
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
cracking
b
Lower hydrocarbons exist in gaseous state while higher ones in liquid state or solid state. On cracking or pyrolysis, the hydrocarbon with higher molecular mass gives a mixture of hydrocarbons having lower molecular mass. Hence, we can say that by cracking a liquid hydrocarbon can be converted into a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons.
