COMEDK · Chemistry · 26. Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
Which of the following is a false statement?
- A Methoxymethane has higher boiling point than ethanol.
- B Alcohols are more soluble is water than hydracarbons of comparable molecular mass.
- C ortho-and para-nitrophenols are more acidic than phenols.
- D Phenol is more acidic than alcohol.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Methoxymethane has higher boiling point than ethanol.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Ethanol (\(C_{2}H_{5}OH\)) exhibits intermolecular hydrogen bonding due to the presence of the polar -OH group, which leads to a significantly higher boiling point compared to methoxymethane (\(CH_{3}OCH_{3}\)), which is an ether and lacks such hydrogen bonding. Therefore, the…
