Arrange the following in increasing order of their boiling points
\(\begin{array}{ccc}\text { N-Ethylethanamine } & \text { Butanamine } & \begin{array}{c}\text { N, N-dimethyl } \\ \text { ethanamine }\end{array} \\ \text { I } & \text { II } & \text { III }\end{array}\)

  1. A III \(>\) II \(>\) I
  2. B III \(>\) I \(>\) II
  3. C II \(>\) III \(>\) I
  4. D II \(>\) I \(>\) III
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) II \(>\) I \(>\) III

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The boiling point of amines increases with increasing molecular mass and with decreasing number of alkyl groups to the amino \(\mathrm{N}\)-atom because of \(\mathrm{H}\)-bonding.
