Which of the following ethers is gaseous at room temperature ?
Options
- A1 - Methoxypropane
- B1 - Ethoxypropane
- CMethoxyethane
- DEthoxyethane
Correct answer
C. Methoxyethane
Step-by-step solution
Dimethyl ether and ethyl methyl ether (methoxyethane) are gases at room temperature. Other lower homologues of ethers, such as diethyl ether (ethoxyethane), 1-methoxypropane, and 1-ethoxypropane, are colourless, highly volatile liquids at room temperature. Therefore, methoxyethane is gaseous at room temperature. Answer: Methoxyethane
