Answer:
Alkanes with 17 to 35 carbon atoms form the major components of lubricating oil. They also act as anti-corrosive agents, as their hydrophobic nature protects the metal surface from contact with water. ... These higher alkanes have little chemical and commercial value and are usually split into lower alkanes by cracking.
