Crude oil may contain hundreds of different types of hydrocarbons. Some examples include:
Butane(C4H10)
Dodecane (C12H26)
Octane (C8H18)
Benzene (C6H6)
Many common fuels, such as gasoline and kerosene, are combinations of these substances or others. When these fuels burn, they combine with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Identify each of the highlighted materials as an element, a compound, or a mixture, and explain your reasoning.
Butane and benzene are both compounds. They contain multiple elements bonded together in a specific ratio. Kerosene and gasoline are mixtures because they are combinations of several compounds. Oxygen is an element because it is made up of only one type of atom.
