Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of boiling point
Propan -1-ol, butan -1-ol, butan -2-ol, pentan -1-ol
A
Propan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, pentan-1-ol
B
Propan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, butan-2-ol, pentan-1-ol
C
Pentan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, Propan-1-ol
D
Pentan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, Propan-1-ol
Answer
Propan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, pentan-1-ol
Explanation
Solution
Boiling point increases with increase in molecular mass and decreases with increase in branching.
