1 Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) are the simplest of the hydrocarbon species. 2  They are composed entirely of single bonds and are saturated with hydrogen. 3  The general formula for saturated hydrocarbons is C n H 2n+2 (assuming non-cyclic structures). Those with double bond are called alkenes. 2  Those with one double bond have the formula C n H 2n (assuming non-cyclic structures). 3  Those containing triple bonds are called alkynes, with general formula C n H 2n-2. 4  Cycloalkanes are hydrocarbons containing one or more carbon rings to which hydrogen atoms are attached.
Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper. You may add additional spices and herbs as you see fit. Brown all sides of the roast in a large skillet or Dutch oven on medium heat. Place the roast in a baking pan lined with heavy-duty foil and sprayed with cooking oil and add 3/4 cup beef broth to the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and bake the chuck tender roast in the oven at 350 for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until itâs tender enough to flake with a fork.
1 chuck roast-mine was only 2 1/2 pounds. In a dutch oven over medium high heat, in about 1 tablespoon of oil, cook the sliced onion for just a couple of minutes, until it softens and begins to turn golden. Remove the onion to a bowl. Season the roast liberally with salt and pepper, and garlic powder if desired.
