Consider the following five compounds.

  a.    CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃

  b.    

  c.    CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₃

  d.    

  

The boiling points of these five compounds are 9.5°C, 36°C, 69°C, 76°C, and 117°C. Which compound boils at 36°C? Explain.

Interpretation:

The compound that boils at 36oC is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

An organic compound boils at different temperature. The boiling points of organic compounds give important information about the structural and physical properties of organic compounds.

The intermolecular forces such as ionic forces, hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interaction affects the boiling points of organic compounds. The boiling point of organic compounds increases on increasing the length of the carbon chain. The boiling points of five given compounds are 9.5oC, 36oC, 69oC, 76oC and 117oC .

Explanation

The compound is pentane which is a straight chain hydrocarbon. The boiling point of pentane is higher than branched hydrocarbons as the length of the carbon-carbon chain increases,...

Interpretation:

The compound that boils at 36oC is to be identified.
