Which compound in each of the following pairs would have the higher boiling point ? Explain your answers.
$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} O H o r C H_{3} C H_{2} O C H_{3}$
$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} O H o r H O C H_{2} C H_{2} O H$

Solution

$C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{2}) H$ is having more boiling point than $C H_{3} C H_{2} - O C H_{3}$ due to intermolecular H bonding in $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} O H$
$H O - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - O H$ is having more boiling point than $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} O H$ because of more H bonding in case of $H O - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - O H$ than $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} O H$
