Question

Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing boiling point.

butanal
1-butanol
diethylamine
tartaric acid
butane
butanoic acid

and can you please explain why?
Use molar mass and H bonding to determine. The higher molar mass (more van der Walls forces) the higher the b.p.
The more H bonding (polarity) the higher the b.p.
Butane, for example, would be the lowest b.p. You can look these up on google and see if you have them right.
