An ethylene cracker is a petrochemical plant. Primarily it takes in a feed of gas hydrocarbons (dry gas, propane, butane) or kerosene (rarer). It then heats it up to about 900degrees to literally "crack" the molecules into smaller ones. After this heating, the product is a mixture of lots of different gases and some liquids. These are then separated (refined) into different products. The primary product is ethylene.
Most ethylene crackers have a hydrogenation section. This is a series of reactors which hydrogenate (add hydrogen) any acetylene turning it into ethylene. This increases the ethylene yield.

Is ethylene a weak electrolyte?
No, ethylene is a gaseous hydrocarbon.
Is ethylene present in lemons and tangerines?
Yes ,ethylene is present in lemons and tangerines. They contain the kind of reticulum cell that ethylene grows in
Is Ethylene more volatile than Ethane or not?
Yes, predominately due to Ethylene's triple bond. The triple bond makes Ethylene more unstable than Ethane, therefore making Ethylene more volatile
What elements is ethylene glycol made up of?
The chemical formula for ethylene glycol is C2H6O2.
Is Di-ethylene glycol a Multihydricalcohol?
no, you are mistaking di-ethylene for di-ethyline , hope this helps

Are ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol monomers polymers or neither?
Polyethylene oxide and polyethylene glycol are both known polymers. Ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol are, therefore, monomeric.
What are the main ingredients of ethylene?
Ethylene contain hydrogen and carbon.

Ethylene glycol
Is ethylene glycol halal?
Ethylene glycol is not of animal origin !
What is Roblox Nan Called?
cracker
How many grams of ethylene as needed to react with 0.0126 mole of water?
To determine the grams of ethylene needed to react with 0.0126 mole of water, you need to use the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between ethylene and water. Once you have the balanced equation, use the molar ratio between ethylene and water to convert moles of water to moles of ethylene. Then, use the molar mass of ethylene to convert moles of ethylene to grams of ethylene.
Is ethylene present in lemons and tangerines?
Yes ,ethylene is present in lemons and tangerines. They contain the kind of reticulum cell that ethylene grows in
Why ethylene and ethylene does not react to form cyclo butane?
There is an energy problem.
