Identify the correct order of boiling points of the following
compounds:
$CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH(1) \, \, \, \, \, \, \, CH_3CH_2CH_2CHO (2) $
$CH_3CH_2CH_2COOH (3) $
- 1 > 2 > 3
- 3 > 1 > 2
- 1 > 3 > 2
- 3 > 2 > 1
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
butanal do not form intermolecular H-bonds. Hence, boiling
point order will be
$\hspace15mm 3 > 1 > 2 $
Top Questions on reaction mechanism
- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The dipole moment of R–CN is greater than R–NC and R–NC can undergo hydrolysis under acidic medium to produce R–COOH.
Statement II: R–CN hydrolyses under acidic medium to produce a compound which on treatment with SOCl$_2$, followed by the addition of NH$_3$ gives another compound (X). This compound (X) on treatment with NaOCl/NaOH gives a product, that on treatment with CHCl$_3$/KOH/$\Delta$ produces R–NC.

Hydrocarbons - Reaction Mechanism
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds that are entirely made up of only two kinds of atoms – carbon and hydrogen. Typically, hydrocarbons are colourless gases that have very weak odours.
Mechanism of electrophilic substitution reactions:
According to experimental evidences, SE (S = substitution; E = electrophilic) reactions are supposed to proceed via the following three steps:
- Generation of the electrophile
- Formation of carbocation intermediate
- Removal of proton from the carbocation interm
