Which compound in each set has a higher boiling point? the way to determine this is to look at intramolecular forces.
00:08
Anything that packs a compound closer together is going to have a higher boiling point.
00:14
So let's look at these two compounds to start with.
00:17
We're comparing, replacing a ch2 with an oxygen.
00:22
Well, if you do that, now you form a dipole moment towards oxygen.
00:28
So this compound has dipole -dipole interactions, whereas this one does not.
00:33
Therefore, acetone is going to have a higher boiling point.
00:38
If we compare the carboxylic acid to the ester, the carboxylic acid is going to have a greater boiling point because you can form hydrogen bonding with itself, not in water, but just two molecules of this can hydrogen bond to each other...
