1. EXTRA STEP HERE! Can you catch it? While dropping off your recycling, you are overcome by the urge to weigh the tin cans you brought in. You find that the mass of cans in the box you brought had a mass of 23 kg. How many moles do you have? 2.Your toothpaste probably contains around 62 g of fluorine per tube. How many moles are in one tube of toothpaste

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.
