Volatile hydrocarbons are not used in the brakes of automobile as lubricants, but non-volatile hydrocarbons are used as lubricants.

1 Answer

Answer :

Ans.: The vapour pressure of volatile hydrocarbons is very high and they get evaporated leaving behind the system. Due to this they are not used as lubricants in automobiles. Nonvolatile hydrocarbons having low vapour pressure are used as lubricants.
