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:
8 to 8.5 since that is the recommended and people usualy sleep more than that
Ok percent error is abs(calculated-actual)/actual(100%)
So 1.5/96 *100%
