Aniline point of the diesel is a measure of its __________ content.
A. Aromatic
B. Paraffin
C. Olefin
D. Naphthene
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The aniline point of diesel is a measure of its aromatic content. It is a test used in the petroleum industry to determine the solubility and aromatic hydrocarbon content of diesel fuel. The aniline point is the temperature at which an equal volume of aniline and diesel fuel are completely miscible (able to mix uniformly). It indicates the presence and quantity of aromatic hydrocarbons in the diesel fuel.Therefore, the correct answer is Option A: Aromatic. The aniline point is a measure of the aromatic content in diesel fuel.
Options B, C, and D refer to different types of hydrocarbons but are not specifically related to the aniline point test for diesel.

Aniline point test of an oil qualitatively indicates the __________ content of an oil.
A. Paraffin
B. Olefin
C. Aromatic
D. Naphthene
correct answer is aromatic content. The aniline point (AP) is an important physical property of a petroleum fraction. The AP gives an indication of the aromatic hydrocarbon content in a hydrocarbon mixture and can also be an indicator of the ignition point of a diesel fraction.
