Question #3: Response and citations worth 24 points The boiling points of the alkanes in crude oil vary depending on the type of alkane. Describe in detail the boiling point trend seen with the different types of alkanes found in crude oil. There are trends based on the number of carbon atoms in the molecules and the branching in the molecules. What are these trends? Some alkanes are classified as branched and some are classified as not branching (or normal). What is the structural difference between these two types of alkanes? Give the structural formulas names of one normal alkane and one branched alkane. Reference citations:
