Which of the following has the lowest boiling point?

  1. A \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{NH}_{2}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{HCOOH}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We are given alcohol, carboxylic acid, amine and ether. So, the boiling point of ether \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)\) will be lowest in alcohol and carboxyl acid and amines, there is H-bonding responsible for higher boiling point as compared to ether.
