When heavy oils are cracked in a catalytic or thermal cracking process, lighter hydrocarbon compounds are formed.

Question:

When heavy oils are cracked in a catalytic or thermal cracking process, lighter hydrocarbon compounds are formed. Most cracking processes on heavy oil feeds form products with carbon numbers ranging from two to greater than twenty. How does the equilibrium distribution of hydrocarbon compounds with five carbons (C5 compounds) change as the temperature of the cracking process is increased at 200kPa?
