Q1:

Gasoline yield in catalytic reforming of naphtha may be about __________ percent by weight.

A 85

B 65

C 50

D 98

ANS:A - 85

Gasoline yield in catalytic reforming of naphtha typically ranges around 65% to 85% by weight. This means that for every 100 units of naphtha processed, approximately 65 to 85 units of gasoline (high-octane components) are produced, depending on the specific conditions of the reforming process and the desired product specifications. Therefore, among the options provided:

  • 85% is within the typical range of gasoline yield in catalytic reforming of naphtha.
