Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonane has a density of 0.79 g/mL, which is less than the density of water (1 g/mL). Therefore, nonane is less dense than water and will float on the surface of water. Nonane is not soluble in water and has a boiling point above room temperature, so it is in liquid form at room temperature. Nonane can undergo combustion reactions.
