Problem
Petrochemical engineers employ multiple unit operations, four of which are described below.
(a) Rank the four operations from the one that involves the LEAST breaking of chemical bonds to the one that involves the MOST breaking of chemical bonds. Clearly indicate any ties.
(b) For EACH operation, justify its position in your ranking by describing what happens at the molecular level to both intramolecular bonds and intermolecular forces.
