Description : Which of the following has highest boiling point and why?(L-II) (a) 2 methylpentane (b) 2,3 dimethyl butane (c) 2,2 dimythylbutane

Last Answer : Ans. As the branching increases, surface area decreases. As a result, magnitude of Vander Waals forces of attraction decreases and hence the boiling point decreases. Thus, the overall order of decreasing boiling point is: 2 methylpentane (333k) > 2,3 dimethylbutane (331k) > 2,2 dimethylbutane(323k)

Description : (a) What effect the branching of an alkane has on its melting point? (L-III) (b) Which of the following has highest boiling point?(L-III) (1) 2-methyl pentane. (2) 2, 3-diethyl butane. (3) 2, 2- dimethyl butane.

Last Answer : Ans.(a) In general conception, as the branching increases packing of the molecules in the crystals becomes less close and have melting point decreases accordingly. (b) As the branching increases, ... attraction decreases and hence the boiling point decreases. So, 2-methyl pentane has highest B.pt.
