Aldehydes, Ketones And Carboxylic Acids

Question

Wired Faculty App

Explain the following:
Butanal and butanol have almost the same solubility in water, yet, their boiling points differ widely.

Solution
Butanal and butanol both have almost same solubility in water, but their boiling points differ because butanol is associate with hydrogen bonding which provide extra molecular attraction between the molecule. Butanal cannot associate with intermoleular hydrogen bonding. Hence, it boils at much lower temperature than butanol.
