Q. Number of carbon atoms in kerosene is

ManipalManipal 2020

Solution:

Kerosene is a thin, clear liquid formed from hydro carbons obtained from the fractional distillation of petroleum between $150-275^{\circ} C$ 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.
