Question

Correct statement(s) in case of n-butanol and t-butanol is (are):

• A. both are having equal solubility in water.
• B. t-butanol is more soluble in water than n-butanol.
• C. boiling point of t-butanol is lower than n-butanol.
• D. boiling point of n-butanol is lower than t-butanol.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B t-butanol is more soluble in water than n-butanol.
C boiling point of t-butanol is lower than n-butanol.

More branching means less boiling point and high solubility.
