i. Why is the boiling point of the aldehyde greater than that of the alkane? ii. Why is the boiling point of alcohol the highest? iii. Explain why the solubility of aldehydes and alcohols falls as the molecules get bigger.
Part A:
Write the structure for methyl propyl ether, an anesthetic known as Neothyl.
Part B:
Write the structure for dimethyl ether, used as a compressed gas to "freeze" warts from the skin. What alcohol is an isomer of dimethyl ether?
Propanol is very soluble in water, but ethanethiol and chloroethane are only slightly soluble. Explain.
