According to the Chemical Data Guide, piperylene possesses which characteristic?

A A Reid vapor pressure of 14 psia
B Specific Gravity of 0.86
C A boiling point of 43°F
D Insoluble in water
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Insoluble in water. According to the Chemical Data Guide for Bulk Shipment, piperylene is listed as having the characteristic of being insoluble in water. This means that piperylene does not readily dissolve or mix with water, which is an important property to know when handling and transporting this chemical. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the properties of piperylene as listed in the Chemical Data Guide. The guide does not specify a Reid vapor pressure of 14 psia, a specific gravity of 0.86, or a boiling point of 43°F for piperylene.
