Cracking:
Cracking is the process whereby complex molecules are broken down into simpler molecules :
Example : C36H74 + H2 ------> C2H6 + C34H70
Reforming:
Reforming is a process used to convert molecules having low octane ratings into hight- octane liquid products.
Example: CH3(CH2)6CH3 -----> CH3C(CH3)2CH2CH(CH3)CH3

Short and simple but very useful info
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing
Actually Cracking word itself suggest craking of material, and after cracking definetly we get lower mol.wt.molecule.
ReplyDeleteAs wel Reform of Reforming suggest that arrangement of molecules without changing mol.wt. But ofcourse in terms of octane no. it increse it.
It helped we
Deletekizito students allot
yah!!! it's simple and informative
ReplyDeletewhat does a h2 do here in cracking?
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeletecan you emphasize more on cracking and reforming
ReplyDeletenice explanation
ReplyDeletewhich type of catalyst will be more effective for cracking process???????????
ReplyDeletethanks.
ReplyDeletePls I don't really understand the equation on reforming. Pls can u make it understandable.
ReplyDeleteI love that thanks
ReplyDeletePlease can you mention the differences
ReplyDeleteSir but both processed usually improve the octane rating of low chain hydrocarbon (notably petrol). why should emphasize only pinpoint on reforming as the only process which eliminate engine knocking??
