Answer:
The answer is cracking.
Explanation:
The fractional distillation of crude oil produces straight-run gasoline. The amount of gasoline yield can be increased by higher and lower gasoline fractions into hydrocarbons.
The processes used to convert the molecular structure of straight-run gasoline is called cracking. In this process, the catalysts are added to break the C-C bonds of the high fractions in order to convert them into lower fractions of alkanes or alkenes.
Thus, the alkanes are mixed with straight-run gasoline to increases its production on a commercial scale.
