Question

Crude oil is a mixture of many different chemical compounds.
Table 3 shows information about four compounds that can be obtained from crude oil.
Then 3 multiple choice questions in the picture

Answer 1

Answer:

092) Icosane

093) Ethene

Explanation:

092) The given compounds are;

Decane C₁₀H₂₂; Viscosity = 0.850 mPa·s (25°C)

Ethene C₂H₄ (gas); Viscocity ≈ 0.01038 m

Icosane C₂₀H₄₂; Solid at room temperature

Methane CH₄; gas at room temperature

The viscosity of the given carbon and hydrogen compounds is observed to increase with their molar masses

Therefore, icosane, which is a solid at room temperature, has the highest viscosity (resistance to deformation) out of the given compounds

093) Polymers are made from monomer alkene units, therefore, ethene, which is the only alkene among the given compounds can be used to produce a polymer

Polyethene is formed by the polymerization of ethene whereby molecules of ethene are joined together to form poly(ethene)
