Solution

Correct answer:

(A)ii,(B)iii,(C)i.

Boiling point Molecular mass

Boiling point 1Branching

Thus, as molecular mass increases, boiling point increases

For the given compounds: n-Pentane, iso-Pentane, neo-Pentane molecular mass is same but order of branching is:

Order of branching in given compounds:



Therefore, boiling point order is:

n-Pentane > iso-Pentane > neo-Pentane

Thus
(A)ii:n-Pentane 309K
(B)iii:Iso-Pentane 301K
(C)i:neoPentane282.5K
