Answer the following questions about pentane (C5H12), heptane (C7H16), and decane (C10H22).

  1. a. Which compound has the highest boiling point?
  2. b. Which compound has the lowest boiling point?
  3. c. Which compound has the highest melting point?
  4. d. Which compound has the lowest melting point?

Cyclopentane has a higher boiling point than pentane even though both compounds have the same number of carbons (49 °C vs. 36 °C). Can you suggest a reason for this phenomenon?
Based on the following data below, what type of intermolecular forces exist for Methyl-benzene, 2-Acetyltoluene, and 4-Acetyltoluene? In which are intermolecular forces strongest? Why? The boiling point of Methyl-benzene is 110°C.  The boiling point of 2-Acetyltoluene is 214°C.  The boiling point of 4-Acetyltoluene is 226°C.
Referring to question 10 of the handout: Butanal (MW= 72) has a boiling point of 76 °C while butanol (MW= 74) has a boiling point of 118 °C. What accounts for this difference in boiling points?
