Arrange the following in increasing order of their boiling points.
`CH_(3)CHO,CH_(3)COOH,CH_(3)CH_(2)OH`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To arrange the compounds `CH₃CHO` (acetaldehyde), `CH₃COOH` (acetic acid), and `CH₃CH₂OH` (ethanol) in increasing order of their boiling points, we need to consider the types of intermolecular forces present in each compound. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds:** - `CH₃CHO` is acetaldehyde (an aldehyde). - `CH₃COOH` is acetic acid (a carboxylic acid). - `CH₃CH₂OH` is ethanol (an alcohol). ...
