BOILING POINT:
super tips to remember
➜More the mass of alkyl halide more the boiling points of alkyl halide.
➜More the number of branches in alkyl halide less is the boiling point of alkyl halide.
Question 1). Arrange following in order of decreasing boiling point.
Methychloride(a),ethychloride(b),
propylchloride(c),butylchloride(d)
Answer 1). d>c>b>a
Question 2).Arrange the following in order of increasing if boiling point of isomers of butyl chloride.
n-Butyl chloride (1-chlorobutane){A}
tert-Butyl chloride (2-chloro-2-methylpropane){B}
sec-Butyl chloride (2-chlorobutane){C}
Isobutyl chloride (1-chloro-2-methylpropane){D}
Answer 2). A>C>D>B
SOLUBILITY:
SUPER TIP
Boiling point is inversely proportional to solubility
