Which of the following process is used to improve the quality of gasoline?
Correct answer: B. Reforming
- A. Steam cracking
- B. Reforming
- C. Catalytic cracking
- D. Distillation
Explanation
Reforming is used to improve the quality of gasoline because it converts low-octane naphtha into high-octane reformates. Octane rating is a measure of a fuel's ability to resist knocking, which is an uncontrolled combustion that can damage an engine. High-octane gasoline is less likely to knock than low-octane gasoline, so it is better for performance and fuel economy.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
