Normal boiling point of ethanol (C2H5OH) is 78 °C, and of propanol (C3H7OH) is 97 °C. a. Explain the reason for the difference in boiling points of these two alcohols. b. When the underline methyl group in propanol, CH3CH2CH2OH, is replaced with a hydroxyl group (HOCH2CH2OH), boiling point of the molecule increases to 197 °C. Explain the reason for observed increase in the boiling point.
