Consider the following two compounds:
C5H11SH (1-pentanethiol) | |
C5H11OH (1-pentanol) |
Which compound has the higher molar mass? _________ (1-pentanethiol
or 1-pentanol)
Which compound has the higher boiling point?
_________(1-pentanethiol or 1-pentanol)
Which of the following compounds would have the highest boiling
point?
A) butyl methyl ether, CH3(CH2)3OCH3
B) 1-butanol, CH3CH2CH2CH2OH
C) diethyl ether, CH3CH2OCH2CH3
D) 1-pentanol, CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH
The compound with highest molar mass is: 1-pentanethiol
The compound with highest boiling point is: 1-pentanol
Explanation: The boiling point of 1-pentanol is higher than 1-pentanethiol due to the presence of hydrogen bonding in 1-pentanol. Hydrogen bonding is the strong intermolecular forces of attraction which requires highest energy to break so it has highets boiling point.
1-pentanol has the highest boiling point due to the presence of hydrogen bonding in alcohols.
