Table sugar is a compound known as sucrose. sucrose is composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. analysts is of a 20.0 g of sucrose from a bag of sugar finds that the sugar is composed of 8.44 g of carbon, 1.30 g of hydrogen, and 10.26 g of oxygen. express, as fractions, the ratio of the mass of each element to the total mass of the sample. using these ratios, calculate the percent composition by mass of each element in the compound

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.

the answer is symmetrical : )
