Description : Describe the following unit processes: (i) Pyrolysis (ii) Hydration (iii) Hydrogenation.
Last Answer : i)Pyrolysis: The decomposition of a compound by heat is called pyrolysis. Large alkane molecules are broken down to give lower molecular weight alkanes, alkenes and hydrogen. Eg: When ethane is heated to 500 ... Chemical Reaction for hydrogenation: CH2= CH2 + H2 → CH3-CH3 C6H6 + 3H2→C6H12
