it is when alkanes are used to form cracking.
What is difference between thermal and catalytic cracking?
Thermal CRacking is caused by heat while catalytic cracking is not caused by heat
What are the advantages of thermal cracking over catalytic cracking?
Carbonium ion process
What are the advantages of catalytic cracking over thermal cracking?
Carbonium ion process
Why do you think cracking is called a thermal decomposition reaction?
heat is used to decompose long chain hydrocarbons into shorter chain hydrocarbons.
What are the products derived from the thermal cracking of butane?
c4h10=2c2h4 +h2

What is an example of the transfer from thermal energy to mechanical energy?
steam engine mechanism.(converts thermal energy to mechanical.)
What has the author T M Nagah written?
T. M. Nagah has written: 'Naptha thermal cracking'
What type of reaction is cracking an example of?
Thermal Decomposition
Is cracking and thermal decomposition the same?
no , they are not the same . cracking involves bonds such as alkanes (single bonds) and alkenes (double bonds) , these are broke down into more use full resourcefull chains , this is called cracking . thermal decomposition is the decomposition of something being heated up , so lets say for example - calcium carbonate (when heated) = calcium oxide +carbon dioxide , this is the word equation for thermal decomposition . so yes yu could refer both of them to being alike
What is the metal mesh called that that is used to prevent glassware from cracking when heated with a Bunsen burner?
A heat diffuser is used to diminish the concentrated heat of the flame of a burner and thus prevent glass from breaking due to thermal stress.
