Problems and exercisesPhysical Properties
1. Order by boiling point
Order from lowest to highest boiling point: 1-chlorobutane, butane, 1-iodobutane and 1-bromobutane.
2. The fluoride
1-Fluorobutane boils at 32.5 °C. Why does it boil at a higher temperature than butane but at a lower one than 1-chlorobutane?
3. In the separating funnel
An aqueous solution is extracted with dichloromethane (density 1.33 g/mL). Which phase is at the bottom? And if diethyl ether (0.71 g/mL) is used?
4. Isomers
Which boils at a higher temperature, 1-bromobutane or 2-bromo-2-methylpropane? Why?
