Methane, CH4 (boiling point -1610C) and water, H2O have about the same molecular weight. Which has the higher vapor pressure at room temperature? Explain.
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.
