Carboxylic Acid and Alcohol Boiling Point
Carboxylic acid and alcohol boiling point. Answer 1 of 2. Homologous Series Functional Group Advanced Organic Chemistry General Organic Chemistry Carboxylic acids exhibit strong hydrogen bonding between molecules. . It is due to their. Answer 1 of 2. Carboxylic acid have higher boiling points than aldehydes ketones and even alcohol of comparable molecular mass. The carboxylic acid has a higher boiling point. Due to the formation of intermolecular H-bonding in carboxylic acid a strong association occurs. Why do carboxylic acids have higher boiling points. Lets take an example of ethanoic acid and propanol. Carboxilic acids have capability of forming a dimer by hydrogen bonding. Intermolecular forces are the reason. Answer 1 of 8. They have the same molecular mass 60. Strong while in R-OH only one polar group and possible. That enables a very stable arrangement. The hydrogen...
