Answer;

D. carbon-12 atom

Explanation;

-One atomic mass unit is the mass that is exactly equal to one-twelfth the mass of one carbon-12 atom. Therefore, the mass of carbon-12 is 12 amu and this provides the standard that is used in measuring the atomic mass of all other elements.

-The atomic mass of carbon is 12.01 and not 12.00 in the periodic table.

-Due to the fact that there are more than one element for most naturally occurring elements, the average mass of the naturally occurring mixture of isotopes is taken while determining the atomic mass of an element.

The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is

Elanso [62]

The by-product of the chlorination of an alkane is <u>HCl</u>

Explanation:

Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to drinking water to disinfect it and kill germs. Different processes can be used to achieve safe levels of chlorine in drinking water.
Chlorination of alkane gives a mixture of different products.
When consider mechanism of alkanes chlorination, free radicals are formed during the reaction to keep the continuous reaction.
Different alkyl chloride compounds, extended carbon chains compounds and HCl are formed as products in product mixture.
Chlorination byproducts, their toxicodynamics and removal from drinking water.
Halogenated trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) are two major classes of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) commonly found in waters disinfected with chlorine
Chlorine is available as compressed elemental gas, sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl) or solid calcium hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)2
