Select the correct increasing order of boiling points of alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids of comparable molar mass from the following.
Options
- AAlcohols Amines Carboxylic acids
- BAmines Carboxylic acids Alcohols
- CAmines < Alcohols < Carboxylic acid
- DCarboxylic acids Alcohols Amines
Correct answer
C. Amines < Alcohols < Carboxylic acid
Step-by-step solution
The intermolecular hydrogen bonding is highest in carboxylic acids leading to their higher boiling points compared to alcohols and amines.
