Consider the following n-alkanes: CH₄,C₂H₆,C₃H₈,C₄H₁₀ _{Which of these would you expect to have the highest}_{boiling point?}

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The boiling point of n-alkanes increases with an increase in the number of carbon atoms in the chain. Among the given n-alkanes, C₄H₁₀ has the highest number of carbon atoms (16) and hence would be expected to have the highest boiling point. Therefore, the correct choice is D.
