Question

a plastic that is composed of a saturated hydrocarbon would have molecules that are most like those in which material?
asphalt
lubricating oil
natural gas
gasoline

Explanation:

Saturated hydrocarbons are long - chain hydrocarbons with single bonds. Asphalt is a mixture of hydrocarbons, often containing long - chain saturated hydrocarbons similar to those in plastics made of saturated hydrocarbons. Lubricating oil has a mix of hydrocarbons but is more about low - friction properties. Natural gas is mainly methane and other light hydrocarbons. Gasoline is a blend of hydrocarbons for fuel purposes with a different range of chain lengths compared to the long - chain nature of the saturated hydrocarbons in the described plastic.

Answer:

A. asphalt
