Arrange the following in order of their boiling points ?
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
All three alcohols hydrogen-bond. Increasing molecular size and dispersion raises the boiling point; branching lowers it relative to the straight-chain isomer. Thus butan-1-ol III > butan-2-ol II > ethanol I for the supplied structures, option B. II is the secondary butyl alcohol.
