JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 9. Amines

Arrange the following compounds according to increasing order of boiling points. \(n\text{-}\text{C}_4\text{H}_9\text{OH}\) (A), \(n\text{-}\text{C}_4\text{H}_9\text{NH}_2\) (B), \(n\text{-}\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10}\) (C) and \(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{NHC}_2\text{H}_5\) (D).

  1. A \(C < B < A < D\)
  2. B \(D < C < B < A\)
  3. C \(C < D < B < A\)
  4. D \(D < B < A < C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Boiling point depends on the strength of intermolecular forces. \(n\text{-C}_4\text{H}_{10}\) (C) is a nonpolar alkane with only weak van der Waals forces, resulting in the lowest boiling point. \(n\text{-C}_4\text{H}_9\text{OH}\) (A) is an alcohol that forms strong…
