Answer on Question #82617, Chemistry/ Organic Chemistry

Increase in number of carbon atoms results in the following effects EXCEPT _______.

Answer

The statements suggested are true if they are:

Increase in number of carbon atoms results in the following effects:

1. The boiling points increase regularly with the increase in the number of carbon atoms

2. Molar mass increases with the increase in the number of carbon atoms

3. Volatility decreases with increase in chain length

4. The melting points increase with the increase in the number of carbon atoms

5. Hydrocarbons are insoluble in polar solvent like water (they are hydrophobic), but soluble in polar solvents like ether. But solubility of hydrocarbons decrease with increasing molecular mass.

6. The densities of hydrocarbons increases with the increase in the number of carbon atoms but become constant at about 0.8 g/cm³.
