  • question_answer
    Liquid hydrocarbons can be converted to a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons by         [AIPMT (S) 2010]

    A) oxidation

    B) cracking

    C) distillation under reduced pressure

    D) hydrolysis

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Key Idea Lower hydrocarbons exist in gaseous state while higher ones are in liquid state or solid state.                               
    On cracking or paralysis, the hydrocarbon with higher molecular mass gives a mixture of hydrocarbons having lower molecular mass.
    Hence, we can say that by cracking a liquid hydrocarbon can be converted into a mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons,
