Do the alkane molecules in bitumen have large numbers of carbon atoms or small numbers of carbon atoms?

Large - think they're C25+
The alkane molecules which have small numbers of carbon are Methane (CH4) Ethane (C2H6) etc - they have lower boiling points and are more useful as fuels etc.

Is carbon monoxide an example of an alkane?
No. An alkane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide consists of carbon and oxygen.
How many carbon atoms does bitumen contain?
In one molecule of bitumen there are 22-45atoms of carbon.
What is a common type of alkane made of three bonded carbon atoms?
Propane is the alkane with three carbon atoms.
What is the difference between propane and methane?
The number of carbon atoms and therefore size of the molecules (Methane=CH4, Propane=C3H8) PROPANE IS A BY-PRODUCT OF CRUDE OIL REFINING. METHANE IS A GAS THAT WILL COME FROM ANYTHING THAT WILL NATURALLY DE-COMPOSE
Is Octane is seven carbon linear alkane?
No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.
What is the molecular formula for a 18 carbon alkane?
This alkane is n-octadecane with the chemical formula C18H38.
Why does a 4 carbon linear alkane have two more hydrogen atoms than a 4 carbon cyclic alkane?
octet rule
What is the chemical formula for an alkane with 10 carbon atoms?
For a straight-chain alkane, this would be C10H22 - decane. However, if this is a cyclic alkane, you would have C10H20 (cyclodecane). There are also numerous options for a branching alkane with various names and carbon to hydrogen ratios.
How many Hydrogen atoms are in an Alkane with 16 Carbon atoms?
A non cyclic alkane always has a number of hydrogen atoms equal to 2c + 2, where c is the number of carbon atoms. Therefore, hexadecane, an alkane with 16 carbon atoms, will have 34 hydrogen atoms.
What is an alkane with 1 carbon named?
Methane, CH4
What does the letters and numbers means in co2?
the number of carbon dioxide molecules
An alkane with 3 carbon atoms would have how many hydrogen atoms in the molecule?
The generic formula for an alkane is CnH(2n + 2).Therefore, an alkane with 3 carbon atoms would have 8 hydrogen atoms.
