Polymerisation__________________?

Correct answer: B. Causes olefins to combine with each other

  • A. Produces i-octane from cracked gases containing i-butane and butene
  • B. Causes olefins to combine with each other
  • C. Causes aromatics to combine with each other
  • D. Is aimed at producing lubricating oil

Explanation

Polymerisation joins olefin molecules together to form larger hydrocarbons, often improving the gasoline-range product yield. Producing isooctane from isobutane and butene is an alkylation reaction, not polymerisation.
