Answer:
B.) The molecule is a branched hydrocarbon.
Explanation:
A hydrocarbon is any molecule made up of carbon and hydrogen exclusively. A methyl- prefix denotes the presence of a methyl group (CH₃), which is situated as a branch off of a hydrocarbon carbon.
The answer is homogeneous
Alkanes are hydrocarbons that only contain single bonds in them. A carbon can bond with up to 4 atoms, even with another carbon atom. So, in a C-C bond, 3 more H atoms can bond to each of the C atom. Generally, the chemical formula for alkanes is CₓH₂ₓ₊₂. So for butane, there are 4 C atoms. The corresponding H atoms are 2(4) + 2 = 10. That's why it's chemical formula is C₄H₁₀.
PH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 14 - 8.7
pH = 5,3
This solution is <u>acidic</u>.
If pH<7 - acidic
If pH=7 - neutral
If pH>7 - basic
