Valeraldehyde

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The boiling point of aldehydes increases with an increase in the molecular mass due to an increase in the magnitude of van der Waals forces of attraction. $Acetaldehyde$ $(CH_3CHO)$ has $2$ carbons,$Propionaldehyde$ $(CH_3CH_2CHO)$ has $3$ carbons,$Butyraldehyde$ $(CH_3CH_2CH_2CHO)$ has $4$ carbons,and $Valeraldehyde$ $(CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CHO)$ has $5$ carbons. Since $Valeraldehyde$ has the highest molecular mass among the given options,it exhibits the strongest van der Waals forces and therefore has the highest boiling point.

Which of the following compounds has the highest boiling point?
