MCQ
Boiling point of alkanes are:
  • A
    is independent of branching.
  • B
    decreases with increase in molecular mass.
  • C
    is independent of molecular mass.
  • increases with increase in molecular mass.

Answer

Correct option: D.
increases with increase in molecular mass.
(d) increases with increase in molecular mass.
Explanation: As molecular mass increases, the magnitude of Van der Waals forces of attraction increases and hence boiling point increases accordingly.
