Question
Arrange the following in the increasing order of their property indicated:
ethanol, ethanoic acid, benzoic acid (boiling point)
Solution
ethanol < ethanoic acid < benzoic acid
(boiling point of carboxylic acids is higher than alcohols due to extensive hydrogen bonding, boiling point increases with increase in molar mass)
