Question

List I contains organic compounds while list II contains boiling points.
List I: (i) n-Butanol, (ii) 1-Chlorobutane, (iii) n-Butane, (iv) Ethoxyethane
List II: (a) 350 K, (b) 309.1 K, (c) 307.6 K, (d) 390 K
Which of the following is correct matching?

• A. (i)-(d), (ii)-(a), (iii)-(c), (iv)-(b)
• B. (i)-(d), (ii)-(a), (iii)-(b), (iv)-(c)
• C. (i)-(b), (ii)-(a), (iii)-(c), (iv)-(d)
• D. (i)-(b), (ii)-(a), (iii)-(d), (iv)-(c)
• E. (i)-(a), (ii)-(c), (iii)-(d), (iv)-(b)

Hint:

In BP matching questions, identify the alcohol first; it is almost always the highest due to hydrogen bonding. Then identify the alkane; it is usually the lowest. This narrows down the options significantly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
