For?? Do you mean what is the purpose of doing this?? If so, maybe somebody needs some methane, ethane, and/or propane. Maybe the person just did this just to find out what happens, IE to learn something that would then be applied to other hydrocarbons (longer chain) to produce gasoline.

When gasoline is heated in the presence of hydrogen gas and a catalyst the gasoline cracks During the cracking gasoline decomposes to 1 mol of methane 2 mol of ethane and 1 mol of propane for?

When gasoline is heated in the presence of hydrogen gas and a catalyst, the gasoline crack. The cracking gasoline decomposes to 1 mol of methane, 2 mol of ethane, and 1 mole of propane for jet fuel. It is a process known as hydrocracking.


What activity converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen?

hydrogen peroxide is an unstable compound and gradually decomposes on its own to water and oxygen. however this decomposition can be accelerated significantly by the addition of a catalyst. one very effective catalyst is any iron salt.


Why is there no colour change when hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide reacts?

Potassium Iodide, is a catalyst and so remains unchanged in the reaction. The hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen, both of which are colorless.


What is Hydro cracking?

a modern, highly efficient petroleum cracking process designed to maximize the production of auto and jet fuels: under great pressure, but at a relatively low temperature, heavy hydrocarbons combine with hydrogen and solid catalysts to produce saturated light distillates, gasoline, etc. ydrocarbons combine with hydrogen gasoline


How does Hydrogen peroxide decomposes much faster in the presence of enzyme catalysts?

Try a peroxidase enzyme. For example "Versatile peroxidase", Jena Biosciences #EN-203L is an extremely effective catalyst.


Liver plus hydrogen peroxide equals what and what?

When Hydrogen Peroxide (2H2O2) is combined with a small piece of liver, the hydrogen peroxide decomposes. This is because the small piece of liver acts as a catalyst, or the cause, of the decomposition of the Hydrogen Peroxide.The balanced equation is thus:2H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) ---------> 2H2O + O2


Hydrogen peroxide is water plus oxygen gas?

NO! Hydrogen peroxide is an entirely different compound with the formula H2O2. Unlike water, which is a stable compound, hydrogen peroxide is unstable and gradually decomposes to water and oxygen gas. This decomposition can be accelerated by the addition of a catalyst.


What happens when hydrogen peroxide decomposes?

h2o2 decomposes to o2 and h2o.h2o2 is very harmful


What does Hydrogen peroxide decompose into?

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen.


Hydrogen peroxide decomposes to hydrogen and oxygen in what states of matter?

liquid or gas


Does hydrogen peroxide lose its strength?

Hydrogen peroxide decomposes through a thermodynamically favourable reaction: 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 The rate of this reaction increases with temperature and depends on factors like its concentration, pH and the prescence of a catalyst. Thus, a bottle of hydrogen peroxide can decompose when stored under unfavourable conditions.


Why are catalysts important in chemical reaction?

Catalysts are important in chemical reactions because they change the rate of a chemical reaction. However, catalysts themselves are not actually a reactant of a reaction. For example, magnesium oxide is a catalyst to hydrogen peroxide, which speeds up the rate that hydrogen peroxide decomposes.
