What are the main two types of products of cracking and what are they used for?
Smaller alkanes and alkenes
Why are alkenes from alcohols not used on an industrial scale?
Since alcohols are obtained by hydration of alkenes, it is meaningless to manufacture alkenes from alkanes. Moreover, cracking hydrocarbons is a more effective and economical to make alkenes. Shawkat
What is the difference between the carbon groups called alkanes and alkenes?
Alkenes have at least one double bond between two carbon atoms; alkanes don't.
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
Which compound may be formed when alkanes are cracked?
When an alkane is cracked, alkenes and shorter alkanes are produced.
How are alkenes made from alkanes?
cracking maybe?
What is the process that decomposes alkanes into alkenes?
This is usually called cracking; It produces unsaturated hydrocarbons as well as smaller alkanes.
What are the main two types of products of cracking and what are they used for?
Smaller alkanes and alkenes
What is the process that converts large alkanes to small alkanes and alkenes is called?
Long-chain alkanes can be broken into smaller hydrocarbons in a process called cracking, which may be thermal or catalytic.

Since alcohols are obtained by hydration of alkenes, it is meaningless to manufacture alkenes from alkanes. Moreover, cracking hydrocarbons is a more effective and economical to make alkenes. Shawkat
What petro-chemicals products are obtained from cracking?
Examples: alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, aromatric hydrocarbons, etc.
What come from crude oil alkanes or alkenes?
alkanes
Cracking long-chained hydrocarbons produces what two things?
Cracking long-chained hydrocarbons produces two things which include alkenes and alkanes(shorter chains), including hydrogen through catalytic cracking.
How can bromine water test the difference between alkanes and alkenes?
Bromine water can test the difference between alkanes and alkenes because the bromine water turns colourless for the alkenes but doesnt change for the alkanes.
What is the difference of alkanes and alkenes?
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons with atleast one carbon-carbon double bond.
What differentiates alkenes from alkanes?
alkanes have single covalent bons, alkenes have double :) lol did this while doing chem homework myself
What are some examples of alkanes and alkenes?
Saturated oils and waxes are all types of alkanes and alkenes The Ice man ;) Call me ladies... ;')
