Chapter 3, Problem 13Q
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether 2-methyl-2-propanol or 1-butanol has a higher boiling point should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Temperature value at which vapor pressure of the liquid and atmospheric pressure becomes the same is termed as the boiling point of that given liquid. At this temperature, change from liquid to vapor phase occurs.

Blurred answer

Based on the structures of these three molecules (3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one, 4-methylpentan-2-one, hexan-2-one), which molecule do you think will have the highest boiling point?  The lowest?  Will they be different or the same?  Explain your logic.
Explain why diethyl ether's boiling point is lower than the boiling point of butan-1-ol. Support your answer using the concept of intermolecular forces of attraction.
4. Illustrate each of the following reactions using names and structures; a) The reaction of 2-methyl-propene with hydrogen bromide. b) The condensation of ethanol with butanol. 5. The labels were mixed up on bottles of pentane, hexanal and heptan-1-ol. How could boiling point be used to distinguish between these three colourless liquids? Explain. 6. Illustrate the series of reactions that can be performed to produce propylmethanoate from two alcohols.
