← ScienceWhich risk increases when high molecular weight hydrocarbons crack thermally?
A)Free radical chain propagation
B)Increased polymerization kinetics
C)Reduced heat transfer efficiency
D)Coke formation accelerates significantly✓
💡 Explanation
Accelerated coke formation occurs due to excessive thermal cracking forming reactive, unsaturated molecules. These condense via dehydrogenation/aromatization, the coking mechanism, because polymerization reactions accelerate therefore forming a solid deposit, rather than cleaner cracking with lighter hydrocarbons.
