What is the order according to increasing boiling point of ketones alcohols alkanes and carboxylic acid?

Firstly, remember that a large member of any series is likely to have a higher boiling point than a small member of another series. Given that we assume we are dealing with similar sized molecules, alkanes will have the lowest bp's, as the molecules are non polar so we have only van der Waals forces. Ketones will come next as the carbonyl group is polar so there will also be dipole-dipole interactions. Alcohols and carboxylic acids come next, in that order, as they also have hydrogen bonds.

What is an organic compound containing -OH?
Sugars.
How can ethanol be made from ethene?
Sorry, I tried asking the same question but got no replies, do you mean alkane or alkene???------Alkene: hydrocarbons with the general chemical formula CnH2n; the old synonym is olefins.
Is the carboxyl group an alkane?
-COOH group represents organic compounds of class known as carboxylic acids while alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon because each carbon bears the maximum number of hyrogen atoms.
Are longer chain alkanes more flammable than shorter chain alkanes?
No, Shorter chain alkanes are more flammable
Do alkanes contain phosphorus?
No. alkanes contain only hydrogen and carbon.
What are 4 chemical classes of compound that can be obtained from Grinard reagent?
These are 1-Alkanes, 2- alcohols, 3-carboxylic acids, 4-alkylsulphonates.
Name all the functional groups.?
Alkanes, Alkyl group, Alicyclic cycloalkanes/cycloalkenes, Halogenoalkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols, Aldehydes, Ketones, Carboxylic acids, Esters, Amines, a-amino acids, Amides, Nitro.
Why does viscosity go on increasing with increasing chain length of straight-chain alkanes but for isomeric alkanes viscosity increase with branching?
Viscosity increases with increasing chain length of straight-chain alkanes while that for isomeric alkanes increase with branching because of the difference in the number of rings contained within their hydrocarbons.
What are the main homologous series for organic compounds?
All the families of organic compounds exist as a homologous series (A series having a difference of 'CH2' unit between two consecutive members) the main homologous series-es are Alkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols and Carboxylic acids (Fatty acids).
5 kinds of organic compounds?
I found Alkanes, alkyl halides, ether, alcohols, and amines. Was that what you were looking for?
Why are alkenes from alcohols not used on an industrial scale?
Since alcohols are obtained by hydration of alkenes, it is meaningless to manufacture alkenes from alkanes. Moreover, cracking hydrocarbons is a more effective and economical to make alkenes. Shawkat
Name the proton donor species which react with Grignard Reagent to give alkanes?
Such species include water, alcohols and all the acids.
What formula is an example of organic compound?
It covers alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, simple compounds containing halogens, alcohols, aldehydes and ketones.
What is an organic compound containing -OH?
Sugars.
What is the difference between alochol and oil?
Both alcohols and oil are organic compounds. The hydrocarbons in crude oil are mostly alkanes, cycloalkanes and various aromatic hydrocarbons, and tend not to contain oxygen, nitrogen, etc. Alcohols DO contain oxygen, in the form of the functional -OH alcoholic group. Alcohols are more reactive than the compounds in oil.
What are alkanes?
Answer Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons having a general formula CnH2n+2. Alkanes are unreactive comparing to alkenes, they are not affected by acids or alkalies. But they burn well in a good supply of oxygen, forming carbon dioxide and water vapour. giving out plenty of heat.
Four classes of organic molecules are?
There are far more than four classes of organic molecules; there are easily hundreds, possibly a thousand. Some of them include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, benzenes, phenols, amines, amides, acid/acyl chlorides, amino acids, sugars, proteins, mustards, haloalkanes, haloalkenes, opiates, opioids and more.
