MHT CET · Chemistry · Alcohols Phenols and Ethers
Select the correct increasing order of boiling points of alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids of comparable molar mass from the following.
- A Alcohols \( \lt \) Amines \( \lt \) Carboxylic acids
- B Amines \( \lt \) Carboxylic acids \( \lt \) Alcohols
- C Amines < Alcohols < Carboxylic acid
- D Carboxylic acids \( \lt \) Alcohols \( \lt \) Amines
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Amines < Alcohols < Carboxylic acid
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The intermolecular hydrogen bonding is highest in carboxylic acids leading to their higher boiling points compared to alcohols and amines.
