<span>Cracking of hydrocarbons involves thermal decomposition.
This means that large hydrocarbon molecules break into
smaller molecules when they are heated. The <span>hydrocarbons
</span>are boiled and the <span>hydrocarbon gases </span>are either
mixed with steam and heated to a very high temperature or
passed over a hot <span>powdered </span>aluminium oxide catalyst.
The catalyst works by providing the <span>hydrocarbon gases
</span>with a convenient surface for the cracking to take place.</span>

<span>For example, decane (an alkane with 10 carbons)
can be cracked to produce octane and ethene.</span>

decane<span>             octane    +   ethene.
<span>C10H22</span>(g)          <span>C8H18</span>(g)  +   C2<span>H4</span>(g)</span>

<span>Octane is used as petrol.
Ethene is used in the manufacture of polymers.</span>

<span>Cracking an alkane produces a smaller alkane plus an alkene.
If you add up the number of hydrogen atoms in the
above reaction, you will see that there are 22 on each side.
An alkene is produced because the original alkane does
<span>not </span>have enough hydrogen atoms to produce two more<span> alkanes</span>.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>hope this helps </span>

What does the prefrontal cortex do? What happens to grey matter in adolescence? What does this mean?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Adolescence is a time of significant growth and development inside the teenage brain. The main change is that unused connections in the thinking and processing part of your child's brain (called the grey matter) are 'pruned' away. ... The front part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex, is remodelled last.

Determine whether or not the mixing of each pair of solutions results in a buffer. Show all work!
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

a) Acidic buffer

b) No buffer

c) Acidic buffer

d) Basic buffer

e) Basic buffer

Explanation:

a) 75.0 mL of 0.10 M HF ; 55.0 mL of 0.15 M NaF -Acidic buffer

Mixing of 75.0 mL of 0.10 HF and 55.0 mL of 0.15 mL NaF results in acidic buffer. HF/NaF is a buffer of weak acid and its conjugate base. F- is the conjugate base of acid,HF.

b.) 150.0 mL of 0.10 M HF ; 135.0 mL of 0.175 M HCl-No buffer

Mixing HF and HCl will not results in a buffer. Both are acids, and no conjugate base is present.

c.) 165.0 mL of 0.10 M HF ; 135.0 mL of 0.050 M KOH-Acidic buffer

HF reacts with KOH to form KF. F- is a conjujate base of HF. As volume and concentration of HF is more than KOH, therefore, HF will remain after reaction with KOH. HF/KF will be a buffer of weak acid and its conjugate base.

d.) 125.0 mL of 0.15 M CH3NH2 ; 120.0 mL of 0.25 M CH3NH3Cl -Basic buffer

CH3NH2/CH3NH3+ is a buffer of weak base and its conjugate acid.

e.) 105.0 mL of 0.15 M CH3NH2 ; 95.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl-Basic buffer

CH3NH2 is a weak base and HCl is a strong acid. CH3NH2 reacts with HCl to form its conjugate acid CH3NH3+. Volume and concentration of CH3NH2 is more as compared to HCl and hence, will remain in the soution after reactionf with HCl.

CH3NH3+/CH3NH2 is a buffer of weak base and its conjugate acid.
