  1. A (ii)<(i v)<(i i i)<(i)
  2. B (ii)<(i v)>(i i i)<(i)
  3. C (iv)<(ii) >(i) <(iii)
  4. D (iv)<(iii)<(ii)<(i)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (ii)<(i v)<(i i i)<(i)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The boiling point of the compound depends on Van der Waal's force of attraction like dipole-dipole attractions, H-bonding etc. Among the given molecules acetic acid and propyl alcohol are having hydrogen bonding attraction force and the force of attraction is stronger in case of…
