6 0

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

a technician mixes 80 ml of a 5% solution with 10 ml of water. what is the final percentage strength of the solution prepared?
Vinvika [58]

A technician mixes 80 ml of a 5% solution with 10 ml of water.  the final percentage strength of the solution prepared is 40 %.

given that :

8 ml of a 5 % solution mix with 10 ml . that means the 80 mL of 5 % solution is diluted with water of 10 mL

therefore, 80 × 5 = 10 × x %

x % = 40 %

Therefore, the final percentage strength of the solution is 40 %

Thus, A technician mixes 80 ml of a 5% solution with 10 ml of water.  the final percentage strength of the solution prepared is 40 %.
