Identify the correct order of boiling points of the following compound `:`
`CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)OH(1)` `CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)CHO(2)` ` CH_(3)CH_(2)CH_(2)COOH ( 3)`

A

`(A) gt (B) gt ( C)`

B

`( C) gt (A) gt (B)`

C

`(A) gt ( C) gt (B)`

D

`( C) gt (B) gt (A)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Acid `( C)` forms dimer due to intramolecular `H-`bonding.
Alcohol `(A)` forms intermolecular `H-`bonding
`H-`bonding in `(C )` is stronger than in `(A)`.
Aldehyde `(B)` has dipole-dipole interaction.
So the order of boiling points is : `(C) gt (A) gt (B)`.
