Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of boiling point :
Propane-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, pentan-1-ol

A

Propan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, pentan-1-ol

B

Propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, pentan-1-ol

C

Pentan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, butan-1-ol, propan-1-ol

D

Pentan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, butan-2-ol, propan-1-ol

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Boiling point increases with increase in molecular mans of the alcohols. Among isomeric aleohols `1^(@)` alcohols have higher boiling points than `2^(@)` alcohols. Thus, correct order is :
propan-1-ol
