Q40 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (05 Jul Shift 1) · Chemistry

Arrange the following in decreasing order of their boiling points. Figure

  • Correct answer
    A
    $A>B>D>C$
  • B
    $A>C>D>B$
  • C
    $B>C>D>A$
  • D
    $C>A>B>D$

Solution

Figure
The boiling point of $(\mathrm{A})$ alcohol is highest due to $\mathrm{H}$-bonding. Out of primary (B), secondary (D) and tertiary amines (C), the boiling point in decreasing order is Primary amine $>$ Secondary amine $>$ Tertiary amine as intermolecular association decreases in same order, being highest in primary amine and least in tertiary amine due to steric hindrance. $\therefore$ The correct decreasing order of boiling point in given compound is A $>$ B $>$ D $>$ C.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
