Which of the following is a physical property of the Benzene?
Correct answer: C. Benzene is insoluble in water
- A. Benzene is a liquid with a sweet aromatic smell
- B. Benzene is flammable in air
- C. Benzene is insoluble in water
- D. Benzene is less reactive than alkenes
Explanation
The correct answer is that benzene is insoluble in water, a physical property. This is because benzene is a non-polar molecule, whereas water is polar, making them immiscible. Option A describes the sensory aspect of benzene's smell, which is not a fundamental physical property. Option B refers to flammability, which is a chemical property. Option D discusses reactivity, which is also a chemical property, not a physical one.

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.
