To meet the high demand for petrol and petrochemical feedstocks, heavy fractions of crude oil are cracked at high temperatures. In an industrial refinery process, one molecule of hexadecane, C16H34\text{C}_{16}\text{H}_{34}C16​H34​, is cracked to produce one molecule of ethene, C2H4\text{C}_2\text{H}_4C2​H4​, two molecules of propene, C3H6\text{C}_3\text{H}_6C3​H6​, and one other hydrocarbon molecule XXX.

What is the molecular formula of XXX?

C11H24\text{C}_{11}\text{H}_{24}C11​H24​

C8H16\text{C}_8\text{H}_{16}C8​H16​

C11H22\text{C}_{11}\text{H}_{22}C11​H22​

C8H18\text{C}_8\text{H}_{18}C8​H18​
