Explain pyrolysis in easy way |
| Answer» Alkanes, when subjected to high temperature (670-970 K.) in the presence of a catalyst, are decomposed into smaller molecules. This process of breaking down the less volatile higher hydrocarbons into different types of more volatile lower hydrocarbons by the application of heat is called cracking or pyrolysis. The cracking of alkanes involves the cleavage of C-C and C-H bonds.\xa0 | |
