(d) Adding cyclic hydrocarbons to fuels results in more efficient
combustion. These compounds can be made by reforming straight-
chain alkanes.
Write an equation for the reforming of pentane into a cyclic hydrocarbon, using
skeletal formulae for the organic compounds.
State symbols are not required.
