High aniline point of a petrofuel (say diesel) indicates that ________________?
Correct answer: C. It is highly paraffinic in nature
- A. It is highly aromatic in nature
- B. It has a very low diesel index
- C. It is highly paraffinic in nature
- D. Its ignition quality is very poor
Explanation
Aniline point increases with paraffinic character and decreases with aromatic content because aromatics dissolve more readily in aniline. Thus, a high aniline point generally indicates a highly paraffinic fuel and better ignition quality.
