Liquid hydrocarbons can be converted to a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons by
Multiple Choice Options
- A oxidation
- B cracking
- C distillation under reduced pressure
- D hydrolysis
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
On cracking or pyrolysis, the hydrocarbon with higher molecular mass gives a mixture of hydrocarbons having lower molecular masses. Hence, liquid hydrocarbons can be converted into a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons. (Lower hydrocarbons exist in gaseous state while higher ones are in liquid state or solid state.)
