Liquid hydrocarbons are converted into gaseous hydrocarbons by:

Correct answer: A. Cracking

  • A. Cracking
  • B. Hydrolysis
  • C. Oxidation
  • D. Distillation

Explanation

The correct answer is Cracking. This process specifically targets converting liquid hydrocarbons into gaseous ones by breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones through thermal treatment. The other options, Hydrolysis, Oxidation, and Distillation, do not involve the direct conversion of liquid hydrocarbons into gaseous ones and serve different purposes in the chemical industry.
