The density of benzene is:
Correct answer: B. 0.88 g/cm³
- A. 0.80 g/cm³
- B. 0.88 g/cm³
- C. 0.85 g/cm³
- D. 0.82 g/cm³
- E. 0.08 g/cm³
Explanation
Benzene is a hydrocarbon with a density of approximately 0.879 g/cm³ at 20°C. This means it is less dense than water (1.00 g/cm³) and will float when placed in it. The closest option,0.88 g/cm³, accurately reflects this property. Other options either significantly underestimate or are slightly lower than the actual density of benzene.

About Chemistry of Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are studied through the structures and reactions of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Coverage includes free radical substitution in alkanes, electrophilic addition to carbon-carbon multiple bonds, benzene substitution, aromatic stability and the difference between addition reactions of alkenes and substitution reactions of benzene.
