As the name implies hydrocarbons consist of only hydrogen and carbon atoms. There are thousands of possible hydrocarbon molecules. However, the simplest type are called alkanes. Alkanes have the formula CnH2n+2, where n = 1,2,3 etc.. For example for n=1 we have CH4, for n=2 we have C2H6 etc.. Naming these hydrocarbons is simple:
In 2010, when Matilda the chicken, of Ipswich, England, laid an egg 3 1/2 inches high and 8.3 inches around, a Guinness World Records spokesman told the U.K. news website Metro: The largest hen egg was a five-yolked egg measuring [12.2 inches] around the long axis, [9 inches] around the short and weighing nearly [12 ounces].
I weighed the eggs in on my own kitchen scale and here's how it worked out: 1  Medium: 20.5 ounces (about 1.70 ounce per egg). 2  Large: 25.5 ounces (about 2.125 ounces per egg). 3  Extra-Large: 26.5 ounces (about 2.20 ounce per egg).4  Jumbo: 30 ounces (about 2.5 ounce per egg).ere are the average amounts in the three most commonly-found egg sizes: 1  Medium: 3 tablespoons (1.5 liquid ounces). 2  Large: 3 1/4 tablespoons (1.625 liquid ounces). 3  Extra-Large: 4 tablespoons (2 liquid ounces).
