Explain why the acid-catalyzed condensation is a poor method for the synthesis of an unsymmetrical ether such as ethyl methyl ether, CH3CH2OCH3. Check all that apply.
a. equimolar amounts of ethanol and methanol would produce CH3CH2OCH3and CH3OCH3 in addition to CH3CH2OCH2CH3
b. assymetrical ethers are unstable when exposed to acid and tend to undergo hydration to form alcohols.
c. a mixture of ethers is difficult to separate.

The boiling point of propanoic acid is higher than that of 1-butanol because: propanoic acid has a higher molecular weight than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is more soluble in water than 1-butanol. propanoic acid is a better hydrogen bond donor than 1-butanol. propanoic acid forms hydrogen bonded dimers and 1-butanol does not. 1-butanol forms hydrogen bonded dimers and propanoic acid does not.
