Question 1

what happens to melting and boiling points of alcohols as the length of the hydrocarbon chain increases

Answer 1

mp and bp increases due to the increasing strength of intermolecular forces of atraction between the molecules

Question 2

what happens to solubility of alcohols when carbon chain length increases

Answer 2

it decreases

Question 3

what happens to solubility of carboxylic acids as carbon chain length increases?

Answer 3

solubility decreses

Question 4

list the carboxylic acids miscible (soluble) with water

Answer 4

meth eth prop and butanoic acid

Question 5

what happens to viscosoty the larger the carbon chain

Answer 5

the larger the carbon chain viscosoty decreses

Question 6

volatility the longer the carbon chain

Answer 6

increases because of the increased intermolecular forces of atraction

Question 7

what happens to flamability as carbon chainlength increases

Answer 7

it increases
