Sol. In order of increasing boiling points:
(i) Propane < Ethanol < Pentanol -1
(ii) Butane < Butyl alcohol < 1, 2 , 3 – Pentanetriol
(iii) Pentane < 1-Pentanol < 1-Hexanol. The xplanation is based on molecular weight and hydrogen bonding.
In order of increasing solubility in water:
(i) Propane < Pentanol -1 < Ethanol
(ii) Butane < Butyl alcohol < 1,2,3-Pentanet- roil
(iii) Pentane < 1-Hexanol < 1-Pentanol. The
explanation is based on hydrogen bonding.
