Study Notes
Question 25
- Alcohols with branched structures have lower boiling points than those with linear structures
- This is because branched structures have a smaller surface area, resulting in weaker London dispersion forces
- The order of decreasing boiling points is:
- CH3(CH2)3CH2OH > (CH3)2CHCH2CH2OH > (CH3)3C-CH2OH
Question 26
-
The reaction of benzyl ethyl ether with hydrogen iodide produces benzyl iodide and ethyl iodide
-
The chemical equation is:
- CH3CH2OCH2CH3 + 2HI → C6H5CH2I + CH3CH2I
-
The product is benzyl iodide and ethyl iodide
