Why is aluminium oxide used whilst carrying out cracking reactions in a laboratory?

Aluminium oxide is used as a catalyst support in cracking reactions because it provides a high surface area for the catalytic reaction to occur, improves heat distribution, and helps in the absorption and desorption of reactants and products. Additionally, the polar nature of aluminium oxide can also enhance the interaction between the catalyst and reactants, leading to increased efficiency in the cracking process.


What is the use of decene?

Decene is an alkene which is a hydrocarbon made from crude oil but with a double bond between the two carbon atoms. To make use of any alkenes which in this case is decene you could turn it into a polymer (which is a plastic). to do this you go through a process called polymerisation. At the start of polymerisation first you have your alkene which is called a monomer in this case it would be decene and you would have lots of them, then after polymerisation it would turn into polydecene- a type of plastic this plastic would be a type of use hope it answers the question!!


What happens in polymerisation?

According to Sci-Tech Encyclopedia, as quoted on Answers.com, The linking of small molecules (monomers) to make larger molecules. There are two primary ways this linking occurs, condensation method, and the addition method. Both require a catalyst, such as an acid, or a heat source, depending on which method is used. For a more complete discussion of this subject, see the excellent article on Answers.com For a children's version of the explanation of polymerisation, see this excellent "Making Science Fun" article: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000039


What type of bond forms between elements with electronegative differences between 0 and 0.3?

A nonpolar covalent bond forms between elements with electronegative differences between 0 and 0.3. In this type of bond, the shared electrons are equally shared between the atoms, leading to a symmetrical distribution of charge.


Why is porous pot catalyst used in cracking hydrocarbons?

The 'porous pot' that is used in a lab, is used to facilitate the cracking process during heating, the porous pot is used as a catalyst to speed up the cracking process. This allows for the process to occur at a lower temperature.

How is polymerisation carried out?

There are 2 types:- Addition polymerisation is polymerisation in which monomers are joined across the double bond, for example polyethene. Condensation polymerisation is when water is lost from the two monomers for example the polymerisation of nylon, the two monomers are a diamine and dicarboxylic acid. From the amine an H goes and combines with and OH from the acid to form water. From this reaction, 2 moles of water are lostto form nylon -NH-[ ]-NH-C=O-[ ]-C=O-

Does cracking knuckles cause arthritus?

No, you don't get arthritus from cracking your knucles. You're not actually cracking it, you are just "poping" your bones together
