Video Activity In this activity you will view Physical Properties of Alcohols by Lunch Leave Chemistry to gain information to answer the following questions. 1. Explain the reason the boiling point of straight chain alkanes increases as the length of the hydrocarbon chain increases. 2. Explain the reason the boiling point of an alcohol is higher than its alkane counterpart. 3. Explain the reason small alcohol molecules such as methanol, ethanol, and 1-propanol are readily water soluble. Your explanation should include the importance of the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group. Solubility of Alcohols and Intermolecular Forces - A Lab Aetivity page I of 3
