8 0

Answer:

a. Hydrocarbons have low boiling points compared to compounds of similar molar mass.

b. Hydrocarbons are hydrophobic.

d. Hydrocarbons are insoluble in water.

Explanation:

As we know that the hydrocarbons is a mix of carbon and hydrogen. In this the availability of the electronegative atom is not there that shows there is no bonding of the hydrogen plus it is dissolved. Also, the hydrocarbons is considered to be a non-polar but as compared to the water, water is a polar

In addition to this, the strong bond is no existed that shows the lower boiling points

Therefore option A, B and D are right

Why is aluminium used to make outer covering of aeroplane?

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Aluminum is ideal for aircraft manufacture because it's lightweight and strong. Aluminum is roughly a third the weight of steel, allowing an aircraft to carry more weight and or become more fuel efficient. Furthermore, aluminum's high resistance to corrosion ensures the safety of the aircraft and its passengers.

What is the concentration of a solution that has 15.0 g NaCl dissolved to a total of 750 ml?

Oksana_A [137]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of solution is 0.342 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Mass of solute (Sodium chloride) = 15 g

Molar mass of sodium chloride = 58.5 g/mol

Volume of solution = 750 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{15g\times 1000}{58.5g/mol\times 750mL}\\\\\text{Molarity of solution}=0.342M$

Hence, the concentration of solution is 0.342 M

N the reaction 2Cu2O(s) → 4Cu(s) + O2(g) how does the oxidation number of the copper atoms change

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: The oxidation number of Cu decreased

Explanation: In Cu2O equation Cu has an oxidation number of

Cu+1 O-2

then in the product side Cu is represented as a single element.

The rule on oxidation number for an individual element is always O

So Cu has 0 oxidation number.
