Chemical Equations
Word and Chemical Equations in Production of Materials
Introduction
This section will show all chemical equations including those that are not required for the HSC. A title will have the '(HSC)' flag if it is required for the HSC.

Cracking of decane
Chemical Equations
C10H22-> 2C5H11 (radicals)
C5H11 (radical) -> C3H7 (radical) + C2H4
2C3H7 (radical) -> C6H14
Word Equations
Decane -> Pentyl radicals
Pentyl radicals -> Propyl radical + Ethene
