(a)
Interpretation:
The member that is expected to have higher boiling point among the given pair has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohol is an organic compound that has hydroxyl as its
Boiling point depends upon hydrogen bonding in alcohols. If an alcohol has more than one hydroxyl group in it, then it is expected to have higher boiling point. As the length of the carbon chain increases, the boiling point of alcohol also increases.
(b)
Interpretation:
The member that is expected to have higher boiling point among the given pair has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Alcohol is an organic compound that has hydroxyl as its functional group. Alcohols contain both nonpolar and polar groups in it. Hydroxyl group is the polar group and the alkyl group is the nonpolar group. Physical properties of alcohol depend on which of the two groups dominate.
Boiling point depends upon hydrogen bonding in alcohols. If an alcohol has more than one hydroxyl group in it, then it is expected to have higher boiling point. As the length of the carbon chain increases, the boiling point of alcohol also increases.
