Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which hydrocarbon has the highest boiling point?
  • Step 1: Understand what hydrocarbons are. Hydrocarbons are organic compounds made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Know that boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a gas.
  • Step 3: Recognize that larger hydrocarbons generally have higher boiling points because they have more atoms and stronger intermolecular forces.
  • Step 4: Compare the sizes of the given hydrocarbons. Identify which one has the most carbon and hydrogen atoms.
  • Step 5: Conclude that butane, being larger than the other hydrocarbons, has the highest boiling point.
