A Level Chemistry Revision “Thermal Cracking and Catalytic Cracking of Alkanes”

You can find all my A Level Chemistry videos fully indexed at https://www.freesciencelessons.co.uk/a-level-revision-videos/a-level-chemistry/

In this video, we look at thermal cracking and catalytic cracking of alkanes. First we explore why we need to crack alkanes and the economic benefits of this. We then look at what happens during thermal cracking and catalytic cracking, including the conditions and products.

This video is aimed at the UK A Level Chemistry specifications. Students studying International A Level Chemistry will need to check their specification.
