7 0

Explanation:

Large hydrocarbon molecules can be cracked in an oil refinery through the process of cracking. Cracking of hydrocarbons involves the use of heat, pressure and catalyst to resolve heavy hydrocarbons into simpler and more useful products.

  • Cracking of hydrocarbons is very essential in the oil refinery.
  • Cracking helps to break giant hydrocarbon molecules into simple and more useful ones.
  • Fractional distillation separates oil molecules into its different components based on their different boiling points.
  • The fractions produced a times are usually long chained and are not in high demand.
  • Catalytic cracking and thermal cracking helps to break the long chains of the heavy hydrocarbons fractions into simpler ones.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Cl^-<NO3^-<H2O<F^-<CN^-

Explanation:

When we talk about base strength we are referring to how easily a chemical specie accepts protons.

The greater the ability of a specie to accept H^+, the greater its base strength.

The order of increasing base strengths of the species listed are shown in the answer above.
