Which among the following isomers of \(\mathrm{C}_4 \mathrm{H}_9 \mathrm{OH}\) has lowest boiling point?
- A Isobutyl alcohol
- B n-Butyl alcohol
- C tert-Butyl alcohol
- D sec-Butyl alcohol
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) tert-Butyl alcohol
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(i) Boiling point \(\propto\) Molar mass
(ii) In isomers
Boiling point \(\propto \frac{1}{\text { Branching }}\)
(ii) In isomers
Boiling point \(\propto \frac{1}{\text { Branching }}\)
