MCQ
Which statement is not true concerning alkanes
- ✓Large number alkanes are soluble in water
- BAll alkanes have a lower density than water
- CAt room temperature some alkanes are liquids, some solids and some gases
- DAll alkanes burn
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Large number alkanes are soluble in water
a
No alkanes are not soluble in water. Water is a polar solvent and has hydrogen bonding. For any compound to be soluble in water, it should be polar or have hydrogen bonding in it.
