 Q4  Explain why propanol has higher boiling point than that of the hydrocarbon, butane?

Answers (1)

best_answer

Propanol forms intermolecular H-bonds because of the presence of -OH group while butane cannot. To break these bonds, extra energy will be required. This causes a higher boiling point for propanol as compared to butane.
