Which is NOT a physical property of alcohols or phenols?
O Phenols are generally only slightly soluble in water.
O The hydroxyl group of an alcohol is nonpolar.
The solubilities of normal primary alcohols in water
decrease with increasing molecular weight.
Boiling points of normal primary alcohols increase
with increasing molecular weight.
The table below shows the boiling point points of an alkane and aldehyde and an alcohol:
Why is the boiling point of alcohol the highest?
The table below shows the boiling point points of an alkane and aldehyde and an alcohol:
Why is the boiling point of the aldehyde greater than that of the alkane?
