Chapter 22, Problem 75A
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The boiling points of cyclic hydrocarbons and alkanes with same number of carbon atoms needs to be compared.

Concept Introduction:

Boiling point is the temperature at which liquid starts boiling and convert to gas at atmospheric pressure.

The boiling point depends on the strength of intermolecular bond. Stronger the bond, higher will be the boiling point.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Alkanes are straight chain hydrocarbon compounds while cyclic hydrocarbons are ring structures. Both have London dispersion forces as intermolecular forces. Cyclic hydrocarbons are ringed structure thus, they have more surface area for bonding. Hence, they have stronger intermolecular forces.

Therefore, the cyclic hydrocarbons with same number of carbon atoms have higher boiling points than that of alkanes.
