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?
For each set of compounds, which compound has the highest boiling point?a. (i) Hexane, (ii) octane, or (iii) decaneb. (i) (CH3)3C-C(CH3)3 or (ii) (CH3)2CH-CH2CH2-CH(CH3)2
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.
