Boiling point of ethanol `(C_2H_5OH)` is higher than dimethyl ether `(CH_3— O— CH_3)`. Explain.

Give reasons for the following: i) Butan -1-ol has a higher boiling point than diethyl ether. ii) (H_(3)C)_(3) C-O - CH_(3) on reacting with HI give (CH_(3))_(3) C- I and CH_(3)-OH as the main products and not (CH_(3))_(3)C-OH and CH_(3)-I .

Chloroacetic acid (Cl-CH_2-overset O underset C|\ |-OH) is stronger than acetic acid CH_3COOH . Explain.

The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH_4, H_2 and CO and the reaction rate is given by Rate = k [CH_3OCH_3]^(3/2) . The rate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in a closed vessel, so the rate can also be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethyl ether, i.e., Rate= k (P_(CH_3OCH_3 )^(3/2) If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?

Which of the two H_2O or H_2S has higher boiling point ? Explain.

IUPAC name of (C_2H_5)_3 C-C(CH_3)_3
