Chapter 10, Problem 54QRT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why boiling point of esters is lowerthan thatof carboxylic acids with relatively same number of electrons has to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The temperature at which the atmospheric pressure equals to the vapor pressure is known as boiling point.  As the intermolecular forces increase in the molecule the boiling point also increases.  High intermolecular forces indicate that it is difficult for the molecules to be separated in order to change the state of the substance.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Explain briefly why esters are less soluble in water than carboxylic acids of comparable molecular mass.
Explain why carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than other compounds with OH groups?
what are similarities and differences between Ketones,Aldehydes,and Carboxylic acids
