predict the order of increasing vapor pressure at a given temperature for the following compounds: a.ch3ch2ch2ch2oh , b.ch3ch2och2ch3 , c.hoch2ch2ch2oh

1 answer

HO-CH₂ CH₂ CH₂-OH < CH₃CH₂ CH₂ CH₂-OH < CH₃CH₂-O-CH₂ CH₃
Hydrogen Bonding decreasing => Vapor Pressure increasing
The -OH group promotes H-Bonding.
