Question

Limonene is a nonpolar molecule. The water molecules around it form Select one: a. covalent bonds with limonene and entropy increases. b. hydrogen bonds with limonene and entropy increases. c. hydrogen bonds with themselves and entropy decreases. d. ionic bonds with themselves and entropy decreases.

Answer 1

Answer:C. Hydrogen Bonds with themselves and entropy decreases.

Explanation:Limonene is a chiral aliphatic Hydrocarbon liquid that is relatively stable as MONOTERPENE which cracks at high temperature to produce ISOPRENE. D-limonene is produced from CITRUS FRUIT through CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATION AND STEAM DISTILLATION. The most widely used conversion of limonene is to CARVONE.

The water molecules around LIMONENE forms Hydrogen Bonds with themselves and entropy of the reaction decreases,the name Limonene was obtained from the PEEL OF LEMON.
