If you are talking strictly straight chain alkanes, with no rings, you can use the sequence here.  Ignore the first 1, so counting from the second "1", you get a total of 75 conformations.  But that does not include any conformations involving rings, or compounds that contain double bonds.  So this for the formula of C10H22
