Question

Joelle is a manager at a construction company, and she is interested in the chemistry behind the materials they use. She has begun studying the materials used to fill walls. She knows that to keep the temperature inside a room steady the material must be a thermal insulator, and she predicts that materials should not be acidic or else they would dissolve too easily in water. Which of these is a molecular ingredient that could be used in a wall-filling material ?

Answer 1

Answer: C6H6

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecular formula C₆H₆ represents Benzene. Benzene is colorless, flammable, and has a sweet and gasoline-like odor. It's a toxic chemical, and can cause cancer.

Benzene is a hydrocarbon and used for the manufacturing of products such as plastic, detergents, glues, dyes, and rubber. It can also be used in making wall-filling material.
