What will be the boiling point of propanal if the boiling points of methoxyethane and propanol are 281 K and 370 K respectively? |
273K 281K 322K 370K |
322K |
The boiling point of aldehydes are higher than those of non-polar hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses. However, their boiling points are lower than comparable alcohols, due to the absence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding. |
