Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A. 2

Explanation:

Data

Octane = C₈H₁₈

Oxygen = O₂

Carbon dioxide = CO₂

Water = H₂O

Reaction

                         C₈H₁₈  +   O₂   ⇒   CO₂   +   H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                          8                     C                         1

                         18                     H                        2

                          2                     O                        3

This reaction is unbalanced

                          C₈H₁₈  +  25/2O₂   ⇒   8CO₂   +   9H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                          8                     C                         8

                         18                     H                        18

                         25                     O                       25

Multiply the reaction by 2

                    2C₈H₁₈  +   25O₂   ⇒   16CO₂   +   18H₂O

                  Reactants         Elements          Products

                         16                     C                        16

                         36                     H                       36

                         50                     O                       50

Now, the reaction is balanced

Which type of substance will have the highest boiling point? Select the correct answer below:
nalin [4]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Polar molecules are defined as the molecules that chemically combine together and have partial opposite charges.

For example, H_{2}O is a polar molecule as due to the difference in electronegativity of hydrogen and oxygen atom there is partial positive charge on hydrogen atom and partial negative charge on oxygen atom.

On the other hand, molecules which are neutral in nature are known as non-polar molecules. A non-polar molecule is formed by equal sharing of electrons.

For example, CCl_{4} is a non-polar molecule.

As in a large polar molecule, there will be greater force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions due to large surface area. Hence, large amount of heat needs to given in order to break the bonds.

Therefore, we can conclude that a large polar molecule will have the highest boiling point.
