Consider the following compounds:
Pentane Pentane-1,2,3-triol Butanol
(I) (II) (III)
The decreasing order of boiling point and solubility in H 2 O is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The correct boiling point order and solubility order is II > III > I. In II, three OH groups are present. Hence, more H-bonding in II. In III, only one OH is present. Hence, less H-bonding is present. In alkane (I), Van der Waals interaction are present.
