Chapter 10, Problem 49QRT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why boiling point of carboxylic acids is higher than that of alcohols with relatively same number of electrons has to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The temperature at which the atmospheric pressure equals to the vapor pressure is known as boiling point.  As the intermolecular forces increase in the molecule the boiling point also increases.  High intermolecular forces indicate that it is difficult for the molecules to be separated in order to change the state of the substance.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Explain why carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than other compounds with OH groups?
Explain why carboxylic acids are much stronger acids than alcohols.
explain why the boiling points of alkenes are much lower than those of alcohols with similar molecular masses.
