Methane has london dispersion forces since it is nonpolar. London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force, so the forces between its molecules will be weak. This leads to a low boiling point that is lower than room temperature, which makes it a gas at room temperature.

Answer:

hope it helps ❤

Explanation:

Methane only has london dispersion forces since it is nonpolar. London dispersion force is the weakest intermolecular force, so the forces between its molecules will be weak. This leads to a low boiling point that is lower than room temperature, which makes it a gas at room temperature.

Reducing sugars reduce the blue copper sulfate from the Benedict's solution to a red brown copper sulfide; which is seen as the precipitate and is responsible for the color change.

How many milliliters of 0.02 M HCl are needed to react completely with 100 mL of 0.01 M NaOH?
serious [3.7K]
The reaction of HCl and NaOH is HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O. So the mole number of HCl and NaOH is equal. So the volume of HCl =0.01*0.1/0.02=0.05 L =50 ml. So the answer is D).
