JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 7. Alcohol, phenol and ethers

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\). Assertion \(A:\) Butan\(-1-\)ol has higher boiling point than ethoxyethane. Reason \(R:\) Extensive hydrogen bonding leads to stronger association of molecules. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
  2. B \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
  3. C Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is not the correct explanation of \(A\)
  4. D \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Butan\(-1-\)ol \(\left( CH _3 CH _2 CH _2 CH _2 OH \right)\) can undergo hydrogen bonding. Ethoxyethane \(\left( CH _3 CH _2-\right.\) \(O - CH _2 CH _3\) ) has no hydrogen (attached with \(F\), \(O , N\) ) which can undergo hydrogen bonding. More is the extent of intermolecular…
