Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of boiling points. Propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, pentan-1-ol.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The boiling point increases as the molecular mass of the alcohol increase further, among isomeric alcohols 
alcohols have higher boiling points than 
alcohols therefore the b.pt. increase in the order:
Propan-1-ol <butan-2-ol< butan-1-ol < pentan-1-ol
