Pick the compound with the highest boiling point in each pair. Explain your reasoning. a. CH3OH or CH3SH b. CH3OCH3 or CH3CH2OH c. CH4 or CH3CH3
Added by Jose F.
Step 1
a. CH3OH (methanol) has a molecular weight of 32 g/mol, while CH3SH (methanethiol) has a molecular weight of 48 g/mol. Therefore, CH3SH has a higher molecular weight. b. CH3OCH3 (dimethyl ether) has a molecular weight of 46 g/mol, while CH3CH2OH (ethanol) has a Show more…
