A gasoline of higher octane number can be obtained by:
Correct answer: C. Catalytic cracking
- A. Oxidative cleavage
- B. Thermal cracking
- C. Catalytic cracking
- D. Steam cracking
Explanation
A is incorrect as oxidative cleavage does not produce gasoline with a high octane number.A reaction in which a carbon-carbon bond is cleaved, with simultaneous oxidation of the carbons that had formed the carbon-carbon bond.B is incorrect as thermal cracking produces unsaturated hydrocarbons.C is correct as catalytic cracking is done to produce gasoline,diesel etc.D is incorrect as steam cracking produces lower unsaturated hydrocarbons

About Alkanes
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen single bonds, with the general formula CnH2n+2 for open chains. Their structure, isomerism, IUPAC nomenclature, physical properties, combustion, free-radical halogenation and conformations are covered, including the difference between substitution in alkanes and addition in unsaturated hydrocarbons.
