The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both statements provided: **Statement-I:** Chloropropane has a higher boiling point than chloroethane. **Statement-II:** Haloalkanes are polar molecules. ### Step 1: Understanding the Compounds - **Chloropropane (C3H7Cl)** has the structural formula CH3CH2CH2Cl. - **Chloroethane (C2H5Cl)** has the structural formula CH3CH2Cl. ### Step 2: Compare Molecular Masses - Calculate the molecular mass of chloropropane: - C: 12.01 g/mol × 3 = 36.03 g/mol - H: 1.008 g/mol × 7 = 7.056 g/mol - Cl: 35.45 g/mol × 1 = 35.45 g/mol - Total molecular mass of chloropropane = 36.03 + 7.056 + 35.45 = 78.536 g/mol - Calculate the molecular mass of chloroethane: - C: 12.01 g/mol × 2 = 24.02 g/mol - H: 1.008 g/mol × 5 = 5.04 g/mol - Cl: 35.45 g/mol × 1 = 35.45 g/mol - Total molecular mass of chloroethane = 24.02 + 5.04 + 35.45 = 64.51 g/mol ### Step 3: Analyze Boiling Points - The boiling point of a substance is influenced by its molecular mass and intermolecular forces. - Since chloropropane has a higher molecular mass (78.536 g/mol) compared to chloroethane (64.51 g/mol), it is expected to have a higher boiling point due to stronger van der Waals forces. ### Step 4: Evaluate Statement-I - Therefore, **Statement-I** is true: Chloropropane does have a higher boiling point than chloroethane. ### Step 5: Analyze Statement-II - Haloalkanes, including chloropropane and chloroethane, contain carbon-halogen bonds, which are polar due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon and halogen (Cl). - This means that **Statement-II** is also true: Haloalkanes are indeed polar molecules. ### Step 6: Determine the Relationship Between Statements - While both statements are true, **Statement-II** does not correctly explain **Statement-I**. The boiling point is primarily influenced by molecular mass, not polarity. - Therefore, the correct conclusion is that **Statement-I is true, Statement-II is true, but Statement-II is not the correct explanation of Statement-I.** ### Final Answer - **Statement-I is true.** - **Statement-II is true.** - **Statement-II is not the correct explanation of Statement-I.**
