Question

which compound is used to make asphalt?
a saturated hydrocarbon that has more than 35 carbons in its chain
a saturated hydrocarbon that has between 17 and 35 carbons in its chain
a saturated hydrocarbon that has between 5 and 8 carbons in its chain
a saturated hydrocarbon that has between 1 and 2 carbons in its chain

Explanation:

Asphalt is made from saturated hydrocarbons with long - chain lengths. Hydrocarbons with more than 35 carbons in their chain are used in asphalt production as they contribute to its viscous and semi - solid properties. Shorter - chain hydrocarbons have different physical states and uses.

Answer:

a saturated hydrocarbon that has more than 35 carbons in its chain
