Question

Name the process in which pyrolysis of fuel or lubricating oil,resulting in random cleavage of C—C bonds, takes place.

Answer 1

Answer:

 In polymeric samples, the decomposition process may occur through the elimination of small molecules, chain scission (depolymerization) or random cleavage. In the pyrolysis process, the sample is heated in the absence of oxygen and the organic compounds are decomposed generating gaseous and liquid products.
