Q
Alcohol vs Alkane
A
Alcohol
- less volatile
- OH makes it soluble in water
- OH is polar and the molecule is polar.
- weak LF and very strong H bond
- higher mp
- Lower volatility
Alkane
- non polar bonds and non polar molecule. V.weak London forces
- higher volatility cuz less energy needed
*differences become smaller as chain length increases cuz contribution of OH decreases
4
