- Dimethyl ether and ethanol both have the molecular formula C2H6O. Which would you predict have the higher boiling point? Why?arrow_forward(a) Distinguish between:(i) C6H5— COCH3 and C6H5— CHO(ii) CH3COOH and HCOOH(b) Arrange the following in the increasing order of their boiling points:CH3CHO, CH3COOH, CH3CH2OHarrow_forwardExplain why the boiling point of CH 3CH 2CONH 2 is higher than the boiling point of CH 3CO 2CH 3.arrow_forward
- Following are three alcohols with the molecular formula C4H10O. Their boiling points, from lowest to highest, are 82.3°C, 99.5°C, and 117°C. Which alcohol has which boiling point?arrow_forwardChoose the compound that exhibits hydrogen bonding as its strongestintermolecular force. Group of answer choices CCl4 CH2Br2 CH3NH2 C4H10 NaBrarrow_forwardConsider the compounds CH₃OCH₃, CH₃CH₂OH, CH₃CH₂CH₃. Arrange the following compounds from lowest to highest boiling point. Explain your basis of ordering.arrow_forward
- Which compound is likely to have a higher boiling point? A polar compound without O-H or N-H bonds, or a polar compound with O-H or N-H bonds CH3CH2CH2OH or CH3(CH2)4OH Compare boiling points and solubilities in water for each pair of compounds. Explain your reasoning Ammonia, NH3 and methane, CH4 Pentanol, C5H11OH, and pentane, C5H12arrow_forwardPropyl alcohol (CH3CH2CH2OH) and isopropyl alcohol[(CH3)2CHOH], whose space-filling models are shown,have boiling points of 97.2 and 82.5 °C, respectively.Explain why the boiling point of propyl alcohol is higher,even though both have the molecular formula, C3H8O.arrow_forward3.
