Concept introduction: The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. The boiling point of an organic liquid increases with increase in hydrogen bonding. Between alcohols and amines, alcohols have higher boiling points due to the presence of extensive hydrogen bonding which arises due to higher electronegativity of

- If an aldehyde is oxidized, what type of compound would be produced? a. an alcohol b. a ketone c. a carboxylic acid d. a different aldehydearrow_forwardRank the compounds in each group in order of increasing boiling point.arrow_forward"A research team synthesizes a novel organic compound 'X' with the molecular formula C5H8O2. When 'X' is treated with a deuterated acid (D2O), a single deuterium atom replaces a hydrogen atom, forming compound 'Y' (C5H7DO2). 'X' does not react with 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNP) but does react with both Tollens' reagent and Benedict's solution, forming a silver mirror and a red precipitate, respectively. Furthermore, 'X' undergoes catalytic hydrogenation over a palladium catalyst, consuming one mole of hydrogen to form a compound 'Z' (C5H10O2). Based on these observations, what is the most likely structure of compound 'X'?" A. Methyl vinyl ketone B. 3-Buten-2-one C. Acetoacetic ester D. 2-Hydroxypent-3-enalarrow_forward
