NEET · Chemistry · STD 12 -8.1. Aldehydes and ketones
Carboxylic acid have higher boiling points than aldehydes, ketones and even alcohols of comparable molecular mass. It is due to their
- A formation of intramolecular \(H-\)bonding
- B formation of carboxylate ion
- C more extensive association of carboxylic acid via van der Waals force of attraction
- D formation of intermolecular \(H-\)bonding.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) formation of intermolecular \(H-\)bonding.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Carboxylic acid has higher boiling point than aldehyde, ketone and even alcohols of comparable molecular mass. This is due to more extensive association through intermolecular \(H-\)bonding.
