Alkylation_____________________?

Correct answer: B. Causes olefins to combine with iso-paraffins

  • A. Causes olefins to combine with each other
  • B. Causes olefins to combine with iso-paraffins
  • C. Converts iso-paraffin into olefin
  • D. Converts olefin into paraffin

Explanation

In petroleum alkylation, an olefin combines with an iso-paraffin such as isobutane to form a higher-molecular-weight, highly branched paraffin. It does not convert an olefin directly into a paraffin by simple hydrogenation.
