When the underline methyl group in propanol, CH3CH2CH2OH, is replaced with a hydroxyl group (HOCH2CH2OH), boiling point of the molecule increases to 197 °C.

Consider propanoic acid and pentanoic acid and the corresponding alcohols with the same number of carbons, propanol and pentanol. Which is more soluble in water, the alcohol or the carboxylic acid? Why? [you should have two selections.] a. Propanoic acid and pentanoic acid are more soluble in water than the corresponding alcohol b. The solubility of carboxylic acids in water decreases with increasing chain length. c. Propanol and pentanol are more soluble in water than the corresponding carboxylic acid d. The solubility of alcohols in water decreases with increasing chain length. Alcohols are generally more soluble in water than carboxylic acids of the same chain length because of increased hydrogen bonding with the -COH functional group. e. Carboxylic acids are generally more soluble in water than alcohols of the same chain length because of increased hydrogen bonding with the -COOH functional group.

An ether has a lower boiling point than an aldehyde of the same mass (or number of C atoms). Why is this? a. the ether, containing a carbonyl group, interacts more strongly (ether molecule to ether molecule) than does an aldehyde (molecule to molecule), b. The ether, with its single O atom, can H bond to only 2 water molecules. c. The ether, with its single O atom and no attached H atom, does not form H bonds and does not have a dipole for dipole/dipole interaction. d. All of the above.
