The question states which of these combinations can form from cracking so we can make multiple combinations for example:
CH3(CH2)5CH=CH2 = CH3(CH2)2CH3 + CH2=CHCH=CH2
which now proves Z is correct.
CH3(CH2)5CH=CH2 = CH3CH=CH2 + CH2=CH2 + CH2=CHCH3
Similarly X and W is proved.
CH3(CH2)5CH=CH2 = CH3CH2CH3 + CH2=C=CH2 +CH2=CH2
Y proved.
Hope it helps ^^

Actually in cracking reactions you can make any alkane or alkene (given that no of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms are less or equal to the reactant (Alkane Or Alkene )

Btw I thaught only cracking of alkanes is possible.... anyidea if cracking of Alkynes or Arenes possible or not???

Well for 33 it is D? I'm not sure tho let take an option 2 which is not possible bcoz it is reversible reaction so it can shift backward so less so4 is formed

H2SO4 + aq => H^+ + H2SO4^-
Due to full dissociation at the first stage, from 1 mole of H2SO4, we will get 1 mole of H+ and 1 mole of HSO4^-

HSO4^-(aq) <=> H^+(aq) + SO4^2-
Due to partial dissociation at the second stage, from 1 mole of HSO4^-, we will get << 1 mole of H+ and << 1 mole of SO4^2-

Therefore
[SO4^2- (aq)] is low
[HSO4^-(aq)] >> [SO4^2-(aq)]

Yes, possible to crack with enough energy. But the issue is that they do not yield products of much commercial value in most cases

At 1200, the bond is C-O
At 3400, it is O-H and since there is no other absorption mentioned, so it can not be a carboxylic acid, therefore, its just an alcohol
according to the formula, there are 4 isomers
Thanks a bunch (y)

Element J is a solid. It occurs as a contaminant of fossil fuels. Its oxide K is formed in car engines. In the atmosphere, K can be further oxidised to L. Which statements about J, K and L are correct? 1 Atoms of J have paired p electrons. 2 The atmospheric oxidation of K to L is a catalysed reaction. 3 With water, L forms a strong acid.
the answer is A how is option 1 correct? help!

J is sulfur which has 6 electrons in its outer shell...2s and 4p so 1p orbital has 2 electrons

Why can't it be A?
Its B and its not A as catalyst increases rate but does not effect equilibrium so it can be seen that the it is referring to equilibrium due to pressure still being high enough. Besides im pretty sure catalyst were used that time as well for this reaction unless they were invented recently xD.

There can be no acid base reaction between bases and bases. Statement 2 is wrong as Sulfuric acid is an oxidising agent and can oxidise ethanol whilst being reduced in the process meaning it lost proton/H+ ion
