Subjective Type

Arrange each of the following sets of compounds in order of increasing boiling points: Propane, 1-chloropropane, isopropyl chloride, 1-chlorobutane.

Solution

The boiling points increase with increasing molecular mass but decrease with branching.

Isopropyl chloride being branched has lower boiling point than 1-chloropropane.

The actual order of increasing boiling point is:

propane < isopropyl chloride < 1-chloropropane < 1-chlorobutane.
