Which of the following has the list of compounds in the correct order of decreasing boiling point (higher boiling point > lower boiling point)? a. chloromethane > 2-chloro-2-methylpropane > 2-chloropropane > chloroethane
b. chloromethane > chloroethane > 2-chloropropane > 2-chloro-2-methylpropane
c. 2-chloro-2-methylpropane > 2-chloropropane > chloroethane > chloromethane
d. chloroethane > chloromethane > 2-chloro-2-methylpropane > 2-chloropropane

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

The boiling point of chloromethane is -24.2 degree C, the boiling point of 2-chloropropane is 35 degrees C, the boiling point of chloroethane is 12.3 degrees C, and the boiling point of 2-chloro-2-methylpropane is 51 degrees C. Thus, the order of decreasing boiling point is 2-chloro-2-methylpropane>2-chloropropane>chloroethane>chloromethane. Hence, the correct answer is option c.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
