Pick out the wrong statement.
Iso-paraffin crack faster than n-paraf-fin.
Catalytic cracking is endothermic, but the regeneration of catalyst is exothermic.
Rate of decomposition of olefins in catalytic cracking is slightly slower than the thermal cracking.
None of these.

So how the answer will be B? Explain.

Option D is the right answer.

@Viettan:

1- The answer should be "C"; as olefins are produced in FCC and not decomposed (there is no olefins in the FCC feed).

2- Catalytic Cracking reaction is similar to thermal cracking reactions instead the use of a catalyst in FCC, so that's right that FCC is an endothermal reaction.

Catalyst regeneration is exothermal (it's widely known as a good advantage as it gives heat to the FCC gas oil and favorites the reaction).

Hope you find this helpful.

Hi, I agree with @Veeramanigandan and @Mohamed Amer.

And you? Please help me to get a clear explanation. Thanks!

Catalytic cracking is endothermic and regeneration reaction is exothermic.

Veeramanigandan said:   1 decade ago
Option B is also the right statement. Because, in FCCU The cracking reaction is endothermic and regeneration reaction exothermic.
