- A \(\mathrm{C}_{29}\) to \(\mathrm{C}_{31}\)
- B \(\mathrm{C}_{6}\) to \(\mathrm{C}_{8}\)
- C \(\mathrm{C}_{1}\) to \(\mathrm{C}_{4}\)
- D \(\mathrm{C}_{15}\) to \(\mathrm{C}_{18}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(\mathrm{C}_{15}\) to \(\mathrm{C}_{18}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Diesel fuel consists mainly of paraffins, aromatics and naphthenes. The hydrocarbons of gasoline contain typically 4-12 carbon atoms with boiling range between 30 and 210 °C, whereas diesel fuel contains hydrocarbons with approximately 15–18 carbon atoms and the boiling range is between 170 and 360 °C.
