Hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes) have all the properties below except one. Which is not a property of hydrocarbons?

A. nonpolar
B. high melting and boiling points
C. insoluble in water
D. flammable

B

Explanation:

The answer is B. All hydrocarbons are nonpolar, they are insoluble in water and they are highly flammable. Now, not all hydrocarbons have high boiling and melting point. For example, methane (CH4) has a boiling point of something clode to -161°C, and that is low. The boiling point increases when the number of carbon atoms in a compound increases, and based on methane and this theory, not all hydrocarbond have a high boiling point. This makes option B be the correct answer.

distance, luminosity, brightness, radius, chemical composition, and temperature

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
