Question
Chapter 10, Problem 49QRT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason as to why boiling point of carboxylic acids is higher than that of alcohols with relatively same number of electrons has to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
The temperature at which the atmospheric pressure equals to the vapor pressure is known as boiling point. As the intermolecular forces increase in the molecule the boiling point also increases. High intermolecular forces indicate that it is difficult for the molecules to be separated in order to change the state of the substance.
