Rank the following compounds according to their boiling point. Highest Boiling Point
acetic acid
acetaldehyde
ethanol
ethane
Lowest Boiling Point
Highest Boiling Point Lowest Boiling Point
Highest boiling point: acetic acid
ethanol
acetaldehyde
Lowest boiling point: ethane
Explanation: carboxylic acids have highest boiling point due to hydrogen bonding than ethanols. The hydrogen bonding in carboxylic acids is stronger than alcohols. alkanes have lowest boiling point due to weak intramolecular forces of interactions.
