Even though ethane (C2H6 ) has a liquid temperature range almost as wide as water, it is not as good a biological solvent as water because it is a liquid at

A) much higher temperatures which would result in the breakdown of fragile biological molecules B) very high pressures that are unlikely to be found elsewhere C) very low pressures that are unlikely to be found elsewhere D) much lower temperatures which would result in extremely slow metabolic reactions

One hundred milliliters of water is poured into a U-tube that has a cross-sectional area of 1 cm2 . Then 100 milliliters of oil, with a density 80% that of water, is poured down one side of the U-tube so that the oil floats on the water. Find the difference in height of the liquid surfaces on the two sides of the U-tube
