The virial equation of state is not recommended to be used for polar compounds (asymmetrical compounds with non- zero dipole moment) select one: true false

True

Explanation:

*For polar and associated substances, methods based on four should be used  four or more parameters, like analytical equation of state

*The term "analytical equation of state" implies that the function

It contains powers of v not greater than four.

*Most expressions are of the cubic type and are grouped into

the so-called cubic equations of state.

*Cubic EoS calls are very popular in simulation of

processes due to its robustness and its simple extension to mixtures.

*They are based on the van der Waals state equation of more than

100 years.

i believe you are right for all except the 3rd ( look at sqdancefan his answer is much better)

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
