Answer:
a. Hydrocarbons have low boiling points compared to compounds of similar molar mass.
b. Hydrocarbons are hydrophobic.
d. Hydrocarbons are insoluble in water.
Explanation:
As we know that the hydrocarbons is a mix of carbon and hydrogen. In this the availability of the electronegative atom is not there that shows there is no bonding of the hydrogen plus it is dissolved. Also, the hydrocarbons is considered to be a non-polar but as compared to the water, water is a polar
In addition to this, the strong bond is no existed that shows the lower boiling points
Therefore option A, B and D are right
Answer:
The heat needed to boil 1 gallon of water is 81,490.62 Joules.
Explanation:

Where:
Q = heat absorbed or heat lost
c = specific heat of substance
m = Mass of the substance
ΔT = change in temperature of the substance
We have :
Volume of water = V = 1 gal = 4546.09 mL
Density of water , d= 1 g/mL
mass of water = m = d × V = 1g/mL × 4546.09 mL = 4546.09 g
Specific heat of water = c = 1 Cal/g°C
ΔT = 100°C - 25°C = 75 °C
9 (boiling pint of water is 100°C)
Heat absorbed by the water to make it boil:

1 calorie = 4.184 J

The heat needed to boil 1 gallon of water is 81,490.62 Joules.
This problem is providing a mathematical expression which the result should be expressed with the correct significant figures. At the end, the result is 1209.0 because of the following:
<h3>Significant figures:</h3>
In science, the use of significant figures is crucial as long numbers are not necessarily required when reporting a numerical value, for that reason the importance of reporting measurements with the correct number of significant figures.
In the case of additions, we perform the normal operation as the first step:
1204.2 +4.79613 = 1208.99613
Next, we round the result to the least number of decimal places, in this case one because 1204.2 has just one decimal place, unlike the 4.79613 which has five, so that we round the 8 up to 9 and leave a 0 as the only decimal place:
1209.0

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
- The correct structure of phosphoric acid is A.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- P should form five covalent bonds. In this strcuture P form three single bond with 3-hydroxyl groups while one single bondformed with oxygen. As oxygen will form two bonds , it carry negative charge, while P should form five bond but here it is forming 4 bonds due to this P has positive charge but overall structure contain neutral charge due to cancellation of positive and negative charges. Beside this, there are 3 H, Four O and One P according to formula H3PO4.
