Number of carbon atoms in kerosene is

Options

  1. AC_ 17-20
  2. BC_ 12-16
  3. CC_ 20-25
  4. DC_ 25-30

Correct answer

B. C_ 12-16

Step-by-step solution

Kerosene is a thin, clear liquid formed from hydro carbons obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum between 150-275^ C resulting in a mixture with a density of 0.78-0.81 ~g / cm ^3 composed of carbon chains that typically contain between 6 and 16 carbon atoms per molecule.
