∙ 11y agoPetroleum is a complicated mixture of hydrocarbons. You can't assign it a simple chemical formula, because it's not a single compound.
I saw a chromatograph of gasoline once (and gasoline is simpler than crude oil, because it's only that fraction which has a boiling point within a fairly narrow range). It was ... frightening. There were hundreds of peaks, each representing a distinct chemical compound.

So petroleum jelly is made of carbon and hydrogen atoms, just in very high amounts per molecule that hadn't been yet determined.
