19. (1 pts.) The boiling point of hexanol is around 155 °C and that for hexane is around 68°C. This is clearly due to strong hydrogen bonding in hexanol (indicated below) that must be overcome in order to separate the molecules in the liquid phase. In the structures below, clearly indicate which are the covalent O-H bond(s) and which are the O-H hydrogen bond(s).

The graph below shows the boiling points of four hydrogen containing compounds. What type of intermolecular forces explains the large difference between boiling points of water, H2O, and the other hydrogen containing compounds? hydrogen bonding dispersion forces covalent bonding ionic bonding
Consider the compounds butanoic acid, pentanal, $n$ -hexane, and 1 -pentanol. The boiling points of these compounds (in no specific order) are $69^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, 103^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ $137^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ and $164^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ Match the boiling points to the correct compound.
