Question

The increasing order of the boiling points for the following compounds is: I C 2 H 5 OH II C 2 H 5 Cl III C 2 H 5 CH 3 IV C 2 H 5 OCH 3

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Boiling &#160; Point &#8733; Dipole moment &#8733; H - bonding in the molecules C 2 H 5 CH 3 &#60; C 2 H 5 OCH 3 &#60; C 2 H 5 Cl &#60; C 2 H 5 OH , C 2 H 5 OH - O - H &#160; bond &#160; present . Boiling point also increases with the increasing molecular mass.
