Question

Which of the given set of compounds have a higher boiling point?

• A. $1-\mathrm{chloropropane}$
• B. ,$1-\mathrm{chlorobutane}$
• C. $\mathrm{Isopropyl}\mathrm{chloride}$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

,$1-\mathrm{chlorobutane}$

The explanation for correct option

(b) $1-\mathrm{chlorobutane}$

• The boiling point gets increasing when the alkyl chain increases. and decreases with increase in branching
• Hence, $1-\mathrm{chlorobutane}$ having the longest chain in the given compounds will have a higher boiling point.
• Therefore, the correct option is (b) $1-\mathrm{chlorobutane}$ .

Hence, the correct option is (b) $1-\mathrm{chloropropane}$.
