Yes, but often not in significant quantities. Alkenes are generally producted by "cracking" or breaking apart larger alkane molecules in the presence of a catalyst such as zeolite, to form alkenes and alkanes. This mixture is then separated by fractional distillation is a distillation column. They can also be produced by catalytic dehydrogenation.

What is the major element in crude oil?
the constituents of crude oil are FEUL OIL,LPG, NAPHTHA,GASOLNE ETC
Are plastics from crude oil biodegradable?
No because crude oil does get to the surface so there are bugs that destroy it.
What is oil pumped out of the ground?
Crude oil
Why was crude oil invented?
Crude oil wasn't 'invented' ! It is a natural resource. There is a finite amount of crude oil in the Earth's surface - which will eventually run out... forcing us to use alternatives whether we want to - or not ! !
Why alkenes is not in crude oil?
One possible (exploratory) reason is that alkenes are less stable, and in the process of formation of crude oil they get converted to aromatics, if present. Note that I'm not too sure whether this is the primary reason.
What come from crude oil alkanes or alkenes?
alkanes
What gas that is likely to be a constituent of crude oil?
Methane is a gas that is commonly found in crude oil as a constituent. It is the simplest hydrocarbon and can be present in crude oil in varying quantities.
What type of salts are present in crude oil?
3 Types of Chloride Salts are found in crude oil: Calcium, Sodium and Magnesium Chlorides
Why are fractions from crude oil cracked?
To make alkenes, to make alkenes with smaller molecules, to make fuels that are more useful or for which there is more demand.Large hydrocarbons do not burn easily or are less in demand
What is Nigeria's position in the world in producing crude oil?
Crude oil is crude..
What fraction from crude oil has the smaller molecules?
fuel gases, because they have the smallest amount of carbons present...between 1 and 4.
What can you do with crude oil?
What other thing you can do with crude oil.
Why is crude oil known as crude?
Crude Oil is hydrocarbon and it is mixture of carbon and hydrogen.
How many gallons of gasoline are there in a barrel of crude oil?
Zero. A barrel or crude oil contains... crude oil.
What is the major element in crude oil?
the constituents of crude oil are FEUL OIL,LPG, NAPHTHA,GASOLNE ETC
What is a cracking of a oil fraction?
It is when you break large hydrocarbons/alkanes, into smaller more useful alkanes/alkenes. For example a large hydrocarbon in crude oil is Bitumen. By passing this substance over a hot catalyst, you can break it down into smaller hydrocarbons such as Petrol or Diesel
