Ethylene can be obtained from ____________________(a) Calcium carbide(b) Partial oxidation of petroleum fractions(c) Hydrogen steam cracking(d) Thermal pyrolysis of ethaneThis question was addressed to me during a job interview.This is a very interesting question from Synthetic Organic Chemical Industries topic in chapter Synthetic Organic Chemical Industries of Chemical Technology

Answer»

The correct option is (C) HYDROGEN steam cracking

The BEST explanation: Thermal pyrolysis of ethane is not a feasible method for producing ethylene. Acetylene can be obtained from CALCIUM carbide and partial OXIDATION of petroleum fractions. Hydrogen steam cracking produces both ethylene and acetylene.
