Answer:

B. Motor oil

Explanation:

Both gasoline and motor oil are non-polar hydrocarbons. The intermolecular force of attraction in these molecules is the London dispersion force which is higher for molecules with larger molar mass.

Viscosity  is essentially the resistance to flow offered by the liquid. This is dependent on the intermolecular force of attraction. Stronger force implies that the molecules are held together strongly and will not move freely resulting in higher viscosity.

It is given that motor oil is more viscous which implies that the molecules in motor oil are held by stronger intermolecular forces of attraction. This would suggest that motor oil would have a higher molar mass than gasoline.

Explain the importance of carbon's ability to form covalent bonds in straight chains, branched chains, or rings.
viktelen [127]
Carbon is the element at the heart of all organic compounds, and it is such a versatile element because of its ability to form straight chains, branched chains, and rings. Because these chains and rings can have all sorts of different functional groups in all sorts of different ways (giving the compond all sorts of different physical and chemical properties), carbon's ability to form the backbone of these large structures is critial to the existence of most chemical compounds known to man. Above all, the organic molecules crucial to the biochemical systems that govern living organisms depend on carbon compounds.

a thermometer containing 8.3g of mercury has broken. if mercury ha a density of 13.6g/mL. what volume is spilled?
scoray [572]
D = m / V

13.6 = 8.3 / V

V = 8.3 / 13.6

V = 0.610 mL

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. it is often called the
Tema [17]

Water is often referred as a <span>universal solvent </span>because it is capable dissolving much more solutes as compared to any other solvent.  This is because, water is a high polar molecule. In water, H has partial positive charge while O has partial negative charge. 


Due to this, water favors dissociation of molecules into positively and negatively charged ions. Positively charge ions gets attracted  towards oxygen i.e. negatively charges, while negatively charged ions get attracted towards positive end of water molecule. 


However, it is worth nothing that, despite water being referred as universal solvent, many compounds are insoluble or partially soluble in water. For instance, most of the hydroxide displays poor solubility in water.
