Explain why propanol has higher boiling ...

Explain why propanol has higher boiling point than that of the hydrocarbon-butane.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Propanol has higher boiling point (391 K) than that of hydrocarbon butane (309 K).
Reason: In propanol strong inter molecular hydrogen bonding is present between the molecules . But in case of butane weak vander waals' force of attractions are present .
