Answer: pentanol>pentanal>pentane

Explanation:

Pentanol will have the highest viscosity, boiling point and surface tension because it has the highest degree of intermolecular interaction. The molecules of pentanol are held together by strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds which raises its boiling point. This degree of intermolecular interaction is absent in pentanal and pentane. They have much lower boiling points with pentane having the lowest boiling point due to the presence of weak London forces.

Predict which member of each pair will be more acidic. Explain your answers. (a) methanol or tert-butyl alcohol (b) 2-chloroprop
Art [367]

Answer:

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Explanation:

Primary alcohols are stronger acids than secondary alcohols which are stronger than tertiary alcohols.

This trend is so because of the stability of the alkoxide ion formed(stabilising the base, increases the acidity). A more stabilised alkoxide ion is a weaker conjugate base (dissociation of an acid in water).

By electronic factors, When there are alkyl groups donating electrons, the density of electrons on th O- will increase a d thereby make it less stable.

By stearic factors, More alkyl group bonded to the -OH would mean the bulkier the alkoxide ion which would be harder to stabilise.

Down the group of the periodic table, basicity (metallic character) decreases as we go from F– to Cl– to Br– to I– because that negative charge is being spread out over a larger volume that is electronegativity decreases down the group.

Electronegative atoms give rise to inductive effect and a decrease in indutive effects leads to a decrease in acidity. Therefore an Increasing distance from the -OH group lsads to a decrease in acidity.

From above,

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol
