Which of the following statements is not correctly showing the trend of the properties mentioned ?

A

`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH gt CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2) OH gt CH_(3)CH_(2) CH_(2)CH_(2)OH` (Solubility)

B

`CH_(3)CH_(2)OH lt CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH lt CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH` (Boiling point)

C

`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH gt CH_(3)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)H- CH_(2)OH gt underset("(Boiling point)")(CH_(3)- underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-OH)`

D

`CH_(3)- underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(C)-OH gt CH_(3)underset(CH_(3))underset(|)(C)H- CH_(2)OH gt CH_(3) CH_(2) CH_(2) CH_2 OH` (Boiling point)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Solubility of alcohols decreases with increase in size of alkyl group.Boiling points of alcohols increase with increse in the number of carbon atoms and decrease with increase of branching in carbon chain. Hence,
`underset(" "lt CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2OH)(CH_3-underset(CH_3)underset(|)overset(CH_3)overset(|)C-OHlt CH_3-underset(CH_3)underset(|)CH-CH_3OH)`
