Suggest a reason for the large difference in the boiling points of butanol and butanal, although they have the same solubility in water. |
| Answer» Solution :The b.p. of butanol is higher than that of BUTANAL because butanol has strong intermolecular H-bonding while butanal has weak dipole-dipole ATTRACTION. HOWEVER, both of them FORM H-bonds with water and HENCE are soluble. | |
