How is fuel broken down into smaller more useful molecules such as gasoline petrol?
Crude oil is split into fractions using fractional distillation The crude oil is heated and separated based on boiling points. This process produces more Bitumen and other heavier fractions than lighter fractions such as diesel, naphtha and kerosene. To produce more fuel, catalytic cracking is used. In this process heavy hydrocarbons are broken down into lighter ones; For example hexane an alkane, it is converted in to butane and ethene. C6H14 -> C2H4 + C4H10
Is petrol a solvent?

Why would an oil company want to crack hydrocarbons?

What is fractional distillation distillation and cracking?
fractional distillation is used to separate fuels from crude oils they all have different boiling points so they can be separated easily cracking is when longer chains of hydrocarbons after broken down to make shorter ones which burn more easily.
What is the economic importance for cracking hydrocarbons?
Cracking hydrocarbons is very important because in order to power our cars and warm our homes we have to use crude oil which is cracked into smaller hydrocarbons which make diesel and petrol and other types of fuels for our homes and environment. :)
Why is cracking done?
It is widely used to convert the high-boiling, high-molecular weight hydrocarbon fractions of crude oil to more valuable liquid petroleum gasoline and other products.Answers.com

What do people use more fractions or decimals or percents?
No records worldwide, but fractions are mostly used for thirds, halves and quarters and "one in a million", whereas percents are used for most other numbers where percentage is between 1 and 99 (Note football demands 110% from its players!)
How do you do Egyptian fractions?

When you add fractions you are finding their?
The answer to an addition is called the sum. Fractions and other numbers.
How do you do fractions with the numerator bigger than the denominator?
