Question

what is limiting density of alkanes ?

Answer 1

alkan themselves are commonly used as solvents for organic substances of low polarity,such as fats,oil,and waxes. nearly all alkanes have densities less than 1.0 g/ml and are therefore less dense than water (the density of h2o is 1.00g/ml at 20 degree C.

Answer 2

Consequently, alkanes themselves are commonly used as solvents for organic substances of low polarity, such as fats, oils, and waxes. Nearly all alkanes have densities less than 1.0 g/mL and are therefore less dense than water (the density of H2O is 1.00 g/mL at 20°C)
