Answer:
Thermal decomposition or cracking
Explanation:
Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.
Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.
When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.
Example is given below:
C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄
Answer: D. They show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.
Explanation:
Theory is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon (the existence of the moon in this case) and is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.
In this sense, there are many theories about the Earth's moon formation and two of the "accepted" theories are described before the question. In addition, both theories explain in a certain way the reason why the Moon is predominantly composed of elements similar to those found on Earth.
However, both theories seem to be incomplete when trying to explain our Moon's origin.
Your answer would be D, single replacement
