Interpretation:
An explanation corresponding to the fact that the boiling point of propanol is higher than that of propanal is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The partial electrostatic forces of attraction that exists between hydrogen atom and any covalently bonded electronegative atom like oxygen atom is known as hydrogen bonding. The attractive dipolar forces between the molecules results in hydrogen bonds.
Hydrogen bonding can be of two types; one is intramolecular hydrogen bonding and second is intermolecular hydrogen bonding. The intramolecular hydrogen bonding takes place within the molecule. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding takes place between different two molecules.

- Synthesis of Benzoic Acid Is the reaction between sodium benzoate and hydrochloric acid exothermic or endothermic? What type of reaction is this? What are the products? Why is ice cold water rather than room temperature or warm water used to wash the remainder of the benzoic acid out of the beaker?arrow_forwardComplete and balance the following combustion reactions. Assume that each hydrocarbon is converted completely to carbon dioxide and water. (a) Propane + O2 (b) Octane + O2 (c) Cyclohexane + O2 (d) 2-Methylpentane + O2arrow_forwardArrange these compounds in order of increasing boiling point (values in C are 42, 24, 78, and 118). (a) CH3CH2OH (b) CH3OCH3 (c) CH3CH2CH3 (d) CH3COOHarrow_forward
- On a microscopic level, how does the reaction of bromine with a saturated hydrocarbon differ from its reaction with an unsaturated hydrocarbon? How are they similar?arrow_forwardYour roommate, a chemistry major, claims to have synthesized the compound CH5 in the lab. Why is that not possible?arrow_forwardOsO4 (cat) + OOH H₂SO4arrow_forward
- Which of the two has a higher boiling point: Propanol or Pentanol?arrow_forwardAcetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) can be synthesized by combining salicylic acid and acetic acid through a condensation reaction. The −OH−OH group from phenol on the salicylic acid condenses with the carboxylic acid group of acetic acid forming acetylsalicylic acid. Draw the structure of acetylsalicylic acid.arrow_forwardExplain why these compounds (1-propanol, ethylene glycol, and ethanethiol) experience different intermolecular forces based on their molecular structure.arrow_forward
