Raw Kerosene has a smoke point of 15 mm. After it is subjected to dearomatization by liquid SO2 extraction (Edeleanu process), its smoke point may become _______________________ mm?

Correct answer: C. 25

  • A. 5
  • B. 10
  • C. 25
  • D. 100

Explanation

Aromatic hydrocarbons burn with a smoky flame, so removing them by Edeleanu liquid-SO2 extraction raises kerosene's smoke point. A rise from 15 to about 25 mm is the plausible listed result; 100 mm is unrealistically large for this treatment.
