Trends in boiling points of a homologous series

In a separate experiment, the students needed to separate a mixture of two miscible liquids, ethanol and pentan-1-ol. State the most suitable method of separation and the physical property on which it depends.

But-2-ene and other alkenes serve as starting materials for a wide range of compounds. (i) Predict the product formed when but-2-ene reacts with bromine. (ii) Describe how this reaction proceeds at the mechanistic level, drawing curly arrows for each…

Which of these alkanes boils at the lowest temperature? A. $\ce{CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3}$ B. $\ce{C(CH3)4}$ C. $\ce{(CH3)2CHCH2CH3}$ D. $\ce{CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3}$

The boiling points of the five simplest straight-chain primary amines, $\ce{CH3NH2}$ to $\ce{CH3(CH2)4NH2}$, and of the five simplest 1-fluoroalkanes, $\ce{CH3F}$ to $\ce{CH3(CH2)4F}$, are plotted below against the number of carbon atoms in the molecule. An…
