Question

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

Solution

Propanol has higher boiling point than butane because of wide spread H-bonding among propanol molecules. A lot of energy is required to break inter molecular H-bonding among propanol molecules. There is no such bonding in butane.
