Q
Q: Which of the following haloalkanes has the highest boiling point?
Solution:
C4H9Cl has the highest boiling point due to increased molecular weight and surface area leading to stronger van der Waals forces.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that haloalkanes are compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, and halogen atoms (like chlorine).
Step 2: Know that boiling point is affected by molecular weight and surface area.
Step 3: Compare the molecular weights of the given haloalkanes. Higher molecular weight usually means a higher boiling point.
Step 4: Consider the surface area of the molecules. Larger surface area can lead to stronger van der Waals forces, which also increases boiling point.
Step 5: Identify that C4H9Cl has a larger molecular weight and surface area compared to other haloalkanes.
Step 6: Conclude that C4H9Cl will have the highest boiling point among the options.
