Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Benzene is soluble in water

The correct answer is 3, i.e. Benzene is soluble in water.

• Benzene is an organic chemical compound with the chemical formula C₆H₆. 
• If we add Benzene to water, it will float on it. Hence, it is insoluble in water. 
• Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and emits an aromatic smell. 
• Due to the high proportion of carbon, it is flammable in air.
• The boiling point of Benzene is 80⁰C.
