Arrange the following in the increasing order of their boiling point and give a reason for your ordering : `"Propan -1-ol, propan - 1, 2, 3 - triol, propan -1, 3 - diol, propan - 2- ol"`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`2^(@)` alcohols have lower boiling points than `1^(@)-` alcohols due to a corresponding decrease in the extent of H - bonding because of steric hindrance. Therefore Propan -1 ol has higher boiling point than Propan -2- ol. Hydrogen group increases, boiling point also increases.
`therefore" Overall increasing order of boiling points is,"`
`"propan -2- ol" lt " Propan -1- ol" lt " propan 1,3 - diol" lt "propan -1, 2, 3- triol"`
