Step-by-Step Verified Solution
B.P. dipole moment
(I) C2H5OH : Hydrogen bonding - Hydrogen bonding > Dipole-Dipole
(II) C2H5Cl : Dipole-Dipole of C2H5Cl is more polar than C2H5OCH3
so, Dipole-Dipole C2H5Cl > Dipole-Dipole C2H5OCH3
(III) C2H5CH3 : No hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interaction
(IV) C2H5OCH3 : Dipole-Dipole
The increasing order of boiling points will be :
C2H5CH3 < C2H5OCH3 < C2H5Cl < C2H5OH
(I) C2H5OH : Hydrogen bonding - Hydrogen bonding > Dipole-Dipole
(II) C2H5Cl : Dipole-Dipole of C2H5Cl is more polar than C2H5OCH3
so, Dipole-Dipole C2H5Cl > Dipole-Dipole C2H5OCH3
(III) C2H5CH3 : No hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interaction
(IV) C2H5OCH3 : Dipole-Dipole
C2H5CH3 < C2H5OCH3 < C2H5Cl < C2H5OH
