Question

Which of the following compounds has the highest normal boiling point?

a) CH3CH2CH2CH3

b) CH3Cl

c) CH3CH2OH

d) CH3OCH3

e) CH3CH2CH3

Please explain how you get the answer step by step

Answer 1

NOTE = THESE ARE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES NO STEPS CAN SOLVE THESE YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THE FACTS MEOMRIZE THEM THERE ARE NO TRICKS OR NOTHING

1st thing to figure out the one with highest boiling point, and it Definately be alcohol for strong forces so highest boiling point with C) ETHANOL

Next thing to figure out is the one with least boiling point, and it is propane the smallest alkane available with no functional groups which can have.a considerable effect

Highest is C) and Lowest is B)

Now we can also figure out from this that the molecule with second highest boiling point will be the longest alkane with no functional group and that is PENTANE A)

Now we are left to compare two alkyl halide and we know from the properties that dimethyl ether and methyl halide have a very similar boiling point
