What is a cracking of a oil fraction?
It is when you break large hydrocarbons/alkanes, into smaller more useful alkanes/alkenes. For example a large hydrocarbon in crude oil is Bitumen. By passing this substance over a hot catalyst, you can break it down into smaller hydrocarbons such as Petrol or Diesel
What is Chemical composition of petrol and diesel?
Petrol composition ranges from C5-C12 while that of Diesel average composition is C12H23, ranging from approx. C10H20 to C15H28. So it shows that Diesel consists of heaveir hydrocarbons than Petrol.
