Question

thomaster · Answer

Alkanes are
-Methane $\hspace{1pt}\sf CH_4$
-Ethane    $\sf C_2H_6$
-Propane  $\sf C_3H_8$
-Butane    $\sf C_4H_{10}$
-Pentane  $\hspace{1pt}\sf C_5H_{12}$
-Hexane   $\sf C_6H_{14}$
-etc.

They are used in heating (gas burners usually use methane/propane/butane)
Other uses are electricity generators, production of polymers, synthesis of chemicals, components of gasoline (mostly pentane and octane) and more
