Question

Liquid hydrocarbon can be converted to a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbon by

Answer 1

by the process of cracking our pyrolysis

Answer 2

Answer:

Liquid hydrocarbon can be converted to a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbon by Cracking

Explanation:

Higher hydrocarbons are found in liquid or solid state whereas lower hydrocarbons exist in gaseous state.

When we crack higher hydrocarbons we get lower hydrocarbons with lower molecular mass.

That is we get a mixture of lower hydrocarbons.

In this case if we crack liquid hydrocarbon which is a higher hydrocarbon we will get a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbon.

The correct answer is therefore Cracking.
