How does breaking up a solid speed dissolving in a liquid? OA.
increases the surface area
OB.
decreases the surface area
O c.
decreases the pressure
OD
increases the pressure

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.

it's c (engineer's do their work with mechanical stuff not on any living being)
