Possible reaction for the cracking...
« on: December 21, 2009, 01:01:08 AM »
I need to write an equation to show a possible reaction for the cracking of C13H28.
Does this equation look correct?
C13H28(l) = C8H18(l) + C2H4(g) + C3H6(g)
Thank you!

Did they mention what the products should be?

1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.

Then as long as your products are smaller MW hydrocarbons you will probably be fine.
