Question

Identify the correct order of boiling points of the following compounds;
CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH(1), CH₃CH₂CH₂CHO(2), CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH(3)
(a) 1 > 2 > 3
(b) 3 > 1 > 2
(c) 1 > 3 > 2
(d) 3 > 2 > 1

Answer 1

a. ..........is the right answer

Answer 2

Answer:

b) is the correct option

Explanation:

Butanoic acid forms more exhaustive H Bonds than Butanol and butanal do not form intermolecular H-Bonds. Hence, boiling point order is 3 > 1 > 2
