Cracking

?
What are the disadvantageas of smaller molecules?
Smaller Molecules have a lower boiling point and are less useful as fuels
1 of 7
What does cracking do?
Cracking breakes longer chain molecules to smaller alkane and alkene molecules as there is high demand for short chain but low demand for long chain
2 of 7
What are alkenes used for?
Alkenes are used for plastics
3 of 7
The process of cracking is [what]?
The process of cracking is random
4 of 7
What are the two types of cracking?
The two types of cracking are thermal cracking and catalytic cracking.
5 of 7
What are the conditions for thermal cracking?
Thermal Cracking- (750oC) High temperature and high pressure
6 of 7
What are the conditions for catalytic cracking?
Catalytic Cracking- (500oC) Low Temperature and Low Pressure, Zeolite Catalyst, Used for most cracking processes.
