C. Propane
D. Butane
Answer:D
Which of the following organic compounds will have the highest intensity of response when introduced in a flame ionization detector?
A. Methane B. Ethane C. Propane D. Butane
Explanation: Butane will have the highest intensity of response when introduced in a flame ionization detector. This is because the intensity of response will be in proportion with the number of carbon atoms in the chain.
