Why are alkanes classified as saturated hydrocarbons?They do not react easilyThey contain only single bondsThey are usually solids at room temperatureThey are toxic substancesQuestion 7 of 22 Loading... 8. Why is carbon dioxide, CO₂ harmful to the environment?It competes with oxygen for uptake in plants preventing them from photosynthesisingIt is acidic and can change the pH of fresh and salt water when dissolvedIt is very slightly coloured and blocks sunlight in the atmosphere if too much builds upIt is a greenhouse gas and may contribute to global warmingQuestion 8 of 22 Loading... 9. How does sulfur dioxide form in car engines?Acid rain causes some sulfur impurities to get into the car engine, and when the petrol combusts some sulfur dioxide is formedWhen the petrol combusts the sulfur dioxide impurities are left behindThe metals the car is made from contain some impurities of sulfur and when the engine heats up, some sulfur dioxide is formedPetrol includes the impurity sulfur, and when the petrol combusts some sulfur dioxide is formedQuestion 9 of 22 Loading... 10.
