A solution is made using 90.1 g of dimethyl ether (MM = 46.07 g/mol) and 110.0 g of methanol (MM = 32.04 g/mol). What is the molality of the dimethyl ether in the solution?

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.
