Question

Which statement best compares the melting point of butane (C4H10) with that of octane (C8H18)? The melting points of both substances are identical. The melting point is higher for butane. The melting point is higher for octane. The comparison of melting points cannot be made.

Answer 1

The melting point is higher for octane.

Step-by-step explanation:

got it right on edge

Answer 2

C, The melting point is higher for octane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Octane, C8H18, is a larger molecule. Larger molecules have stronger intermolecular forces, so they require more energy to be melted.
