Question

Which compound is used to make asphalt?

Answer 1

Asphalt is a biproduct of making gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, all from crude oil pumped from the ground. Asphalt is the garbage or waste that comes out the bottom of the process of distilling those products. They heat the thick oily-sooty gunky asphalt and mix it with rock or sand and make roads out of it. So the compound would be the long hydrocarbon chains.

Answer 2

Answer:

a saturated hydrocarbon that has more than 35 carbons in its chain

Explanation: Alkanes with a chain length of approximately 35 or more carbon atoms are found in bitumen (asphalt), used (for example) in road surfacing. However, the higher alkanes have little value and are usually split into lower alkanes by cracking.
