Alkylation_____________________?
Correct answer: C. Causes olefins to combine with iso-paraffins
- A. Causes olefins to combine with each other
- B. Converts iso-paraffin into olefin
- C. Causes olefins to combine with iso-paraffins
- 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.
