Why does 1-butanol have a higher boiling point that tert-butanol?

Because Chloropropane is an alkane but tert-butyl alcohol is an alcohol. The O-H bond is much more difficult to break than the C-H bonds in the hydrocarbons that make up chloropropane. O-H bonds need more energy to break them; therefore the tert-butyl alcohol has a higher boiling point than chloropropane.

The boiling point of propanol is greater because it is the third member in the series (with 3 carbon atoms) and ethanol is the second (with 2 carbon atoms). While they have similar bonding characteristics, propanol is simply heavier.

∙ 13y ago1-butanol has higher boiling point becasue of hydrogen bonding between the terminal hydroxyl groups. In tert-butanol the hydrogen bonding is hindered by the methyl groups sticking out of the carbon atom carrying the hydroxyl group.
Wikipedia confirms it.

∙ 12y agoThis is because the polar -OH group can 'hydrogen bond' easier to other similar molecules when it is excentrcally placed, almost outsided.

What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
How does normal boiling points differ from other boiling points of the same liquid?
The normal boiling point is the boiling point at sea level, or more precisely, at 1 atmosphere pressure. At higher elevations, or at lower atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is lower. At higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is higher.
Which has a higher boiling point 0.50 NaCl or 0.50 MgCl2?
The magnesium chloride solution has a higher boiling point.
What relation does the boiling point of an amine have to a similar hydrocarbon?
The boiling point would be higher!
What is the effect of salt in boiling and freezing temperatures?
The freezing point is lower and the boiling point is higher.
Does chlorine or oxygen has higher boiling point?
Chlorine has higher boiling point.
How does pressure affect boiling point?
The boiling point is that temperature when the SATURATEDvapor pressure of a liquidbecomes equal tothe surrounding pressure.Thus the higher the sorrounding pressure, the higher the boiling point.
How does salt effect boiling point?
The boiling point is higher.
Which substance has higher boiling point nitrogen fluoride or NH3?
Boiling point of NH3: -33,34 0C Boiling point of NF3: -129,1 0C The boiling point of ammonia is higher.
What happens if boiling point is higher than melting point?
The boiling point is always higher than the melting point.
Does chlorine have a higher boiling point than iodine?
iodine is having higher boiling point
What C7H16 isomer has the highest boiling point?
Heptane - longer the chain, higher the boiling point. Least amount of branches, higher the boiling point.
The boiling point of a liquid solution is?
Higher then the boiling point of the solvent.
A student measures the boiling point of rainwater and sea water.Which has the higher boiling point?
Sea water has higher boiling point,as it contains sodium chloride
How does IMF affect the boiling point or melting point of a substance?
The stronger the IMF, the higher the boiling point and the lower the melting point. The weaker the IMF, the lower the boiling point and the higher the melting point.
How does normal boiling points differ from other boiling points of the same liquid?
The normal boiling point is the boiling point at sea level, or more precisely, at 1 atmosphere pressure. At higher elevations, or at lower atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is lower. At higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is higher.
