Chapter 17, Problem 17.15P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given set of compounds has to be arranged in the increasing order of boing point.

Concept introduction:

The boiling points of carboxylic acids are higher than those of alcohol or aldehydes of similar relative molecular mass due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding will increase the boiling point of an organic compound.

Carboxylic acids can form dimers in which hydrogen bonds form between two carboxyl groups this will also increase their boiling point.

Increasing order of boiling point of some organic compounds with similar molecular weight is shown below,

Alkane<Ether<Alkylhalide<Amine<Ketone,aldehyde<Alcohol<Carboxylicacid

The better hydrogen bond capability of a molecule will increase its boiling points.

(b)
