Reforming converts_________________?
Correct answer: D. Naphthenes into aromatics
- A. Olefins into paraffins
- B. Naphthenes into paraffin
- C. Naphthenes into olefins
- D. Naphthenes into aromatics
Explanation
In catalytic reforming, cycloalkanes or naphthenes undergo dehydrogenation to form aromatic hydrocarbons, often with hydrogen as a by-product. This improves gasoline octane quality.
