Question

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.
