Balance BPO4 + Ca3N2 and tell what type of reaction it is. Please help!!

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.

answer; the numbers of valence electrons in the acetic acid molecule (ch3co2h) is 24;
