Alcohols and Ethers - Result Question 12

####15. (I) 1, 2-dihydroxy benzene

(II) 1, 3-dihydroxy benzene

(III) 1, 4-dihydroxy benzene

(IV) Hydroxy benzene

The increasing order of boiling points of above mentioned alcohols is

(2006, 3M)

(a) I < II < III < IV

(b) I < II < IV < III

(c) IV < I < II < III

(d) IV < II < I < III

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 15. (c)

Solution:

  1. All dihydroxy benzene will have higher boiling points than monohydroxy benzene. Also, among dihydroxy benzenes, 1, 2,-di-hydroxy benzene has lowest boiling point due to intramolecular H-bonding.

(intramolecular H-bonding in 1,2-dihydroxy benzene)
