<h3>Answer:</h3>

             Option-D (Compounds with different boiling point)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                    Compound is defined as a molecule which is made up of two or more different elements. All compounds are molecules but all molecules are not compounds, for example N₂, O₂, S₈, H₂, F₂ etc are molecules but they are not compounds.

                      Petroleum is a crude mixture of variety of hydrocarbons containing carbon and hydrogen as a primary elements along with other hetero elements like nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur etc. Therefore, these hydrocarbons can be termed as compounds because they are made up of atleast two essential elements like hydrogen and carbon.

                       Secondly, the process of distillation works on the basis of difference in boiling points of the compounds present in Petroleum. Therefore, compounds with lower boiling point will evaporate first and will separate first from the mixture and <em>vice versa</em>.

If 17.4 mL of 0.800 M HCl solution are needed to neutralize 5.00 mL of a household ammonia solution, what is the molar concentra
Verizon [17]
NH3  +HCl  ---->  NH4Cl

moles   of  HCl  used =    (0.8  x  17.4) /1000=  0.0139 moles
by  use   of reacting  ratio  between  HCl  to   NH4Cl    which is 1:1    therefore  the  moles   of  NH4Cl  is  also  =  0.0139 moles
molar   concentration  =  moles  /volume  in  liters 

molar  concentration  is  therefore=    (0.0139/5)  x1000 =  2.7 M
