Q

Explain why and house in fractions of crude or a process for cracking giving chemical equations were relevant?

A

There’s a high demand for shorter chains because they make good fuel
Longer chains are less useful so less demand
Cracking helps supply short chains
Long chains are heated and vaporised
Vapour passes over a hot catalyst or is mixed with steam to a very high temperature so it’s thermally decomposes
It is useful for fuels and alkanes are used for starting materials for compounds and polymers
