Which compound has the highest boiling point among these four of similar molecular mass?
APropan-1-ol
BPropanal
CMethoxyethane
Dn-Butane
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Propan-1-ol
Propan-1-ol molecules are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which raise its boiling point to about 370 K, above the other three.
