Cracking, hydrocarbons

Abstract

The process of decomposition of higher hydrocarbons on trong heating in to lower hydrocarbons is known as cracking. racking is the name given to breaking up large hydrocarbon olecules into smaller and more useful bits. This is achieved by two ethods. By applying high pressures and temperatures without using a atalyst. In the presence of a catalyst, breaking the larger molecules at lower temperatures and ressures
