Question
Arrange the set of compounds in order of increasing boiling points.
1-Chloropropane, Isopropyl chloride, 1-Chlorobutane.
Advertisements
Solution
Molecules with the same mass have different boiling points based on their size. Branched compounds have a lower boiling point than straight-chain compounds due to their smaller surface area and compact structure. The order of boiling points is:
Isopropyl chloride < 1-Chloropropane < 1-Chlorobutane
