Answer the question on basis of passage given below :
Alcohols and phenol are formed when a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon, aliphatic and aromatic respectively, is replaced by -OH group. The substitution of a hydrogen atom in a hydrocarbon by an alkoxy or aryloxy group forms ethers.
Alcohols and phenol consist of two part, an alkyl/aryl group and a hydroxyl group. The properties of alcohols and phenols are primarily due to the hydroxyl group. The nature of alkyl and aryl groups simply modify these properties. Alcohol react both as nucleophiles and electrophiles whereas in phenols, the reactions that take place on the aromatic ring are electrophilic subtitution reactions.
Few compounds are given below (A to D). Arrange them in the increasing
order of their boiling points.
(A) Pentan-1-ol
(B) n-Butane
(C) Pentan-1-al
(D) Ethoxyethane

(C) (B) \(<\) (D) \(<\) (C) \(<\) (A)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Intermolecular forces (IMFs) and approximate Molar Mass (MW): (A) Pentan-1-ol: Hydrogen bonding, Dipole-dipole, LDF; MW ≈ 88 g/mol (B) n-Butane: LDF only; MW ≈ 58 g/mol (C) Pentan-1-al: Dipole-dipole, LDF; MW ≈ 86 g/mol (D) Ethoxyethane: Dipole-dipole, LDF; MW ≈ 74 g/mol IMF…
