Hydrocarbon Cracking & Why It Is Done

The video tutorial explains the process of cracking, which breaks down long-chain hydrocarbons into smaller, more useful molecules. It highlights the high demand for small-chain hydrocarbons due to their volatility and usefulness as fuels. Cracking can be done through thermal or catalytic methods, with the latter being preferred in the industry for its efficiency. The video also covers the randomness of the cracking process and the importance of maintaining the balance of carbon and hydrogen atoms in reactions.
