The molecular mass of 1-butanol, CAH9OH, is 74.12 amu; that of ethylene glycol, CH2(OH)CH20OH, is 62.07 amu, yet their boiling points are 117.7°C and 197.3°C, respectively. Explain the reason for the difference. Since ethylene glycol h v --Select- locations for hydrogen bonding interactions than 1-butanol, it will have the higher boiling point. more fewer
