The decreasing order of boiling points of the following alkanes is : Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A > E > C > B > D
  2. A > C > E > D > B
  3. C > D > A > E > B
  4. A > E > B > C > D

Answer

(1) A > E > C > B > D

Solution

As per NCERT, boiling point of alkanes increases with molecular mass (larger surface area, stronger van der Waals forces), and among isomers it decreases with branching.

Heptane (C7) > hexane (C6) > 2-methylbutane (C5) > butane (C4) > 2-methylpropane (branched C4)

(b.p.: 371 K > 342 K > 301 K > 273 K > 261 K)

A > E > C > B > D

Answer: (1)
