Question 36

To meet the high demand for petrol and petrochemical feedstocks, heavy fractions of crude oil are cracked at high temperatures. In an industrial refinery process, one molecule of hexadecane, $C16H34\text{C}_{16}\text{H}_{34}$ , is cracked to produce one molecule of ethene, $C2H4\text{C}_2\text{H}_4$ , two molecules of propene, $C3H6\text{C}_3\text{H}_6$ , and one other hydrocarbon molecule $X$ .

What is the molecular formula of $X$ ?

$C11H24\text{C}_{11}\text{H}_{24}$

$C8H16\text{C}_8\text{H}_{16}$

$C11H22\text{C}_{11}\text{H}_{22}$

$C8H18\text{C}_8\text{H}_{18}$
