    Disadvantages of biofuels: Take up a lot of space that could be used for crops, reduces biodiversity, CO2 emissions in manufacture

    Hydrogen - highly flammable, needs to kept under high pressure

    Reforming = Cycloalkane and Hydrogen
    Craking = Alkane and Alkene
    Isomerisation = Branched chain.

    Is that all correct?

    yes

    reforming produces cycloalkanes and arenes and hydydrogen

    isomerisation creates branched chain isomers by heating straight chain alkanes with a platinum catalyst on inert aluminium oxide.

    2 forms of cracking- thermal and catalytic cracking

    thermal- high temp 100 celsius and high pressure makes mostly alkenes

    catalytic- makes mostly motor fuels and aromatic hydrocarbons. uses a zeolite catalyst at a slight pressure and 450 celsuis

    Simply CnH2n, if you think about it ever carbon is bonded to another two carbons so only has space for 2 hydrogens

    no that is wrong
    it is cnh2n-2

    cyclopentene is c5h8
