You have to look at the molecular bonding of the two and the energy that can be released through bonds broken. Butanol releases a lot more energy when the bonds between the atoms in butanol are broken because there are more bonds to break. There are four carbons in butanol, with atomic formula CH3CH2CH2CH2OH, versus only one carbon in methanol, with formula CH3OH. There is simply more energy in butanol than in methanol. Look up molecular bonding energy for more information and an imperial answer.
What else can I help you with?
What is the Name of the compound ch3 ch2 ch2 ch2 oh?
The compound CH3CH2CH2CH2OH is called butanol. It is a four-carbon alcohol with the OH functional group attached to the fourth carbon atom in the chain.
What is the iupac name for CH3-CH2-OH?
There is an error in the question - do you mean CH3CH2CH2OH - 1-propanol
How many different isomers are possible for hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C4H10?
The alcohols having the formula C4H10O are four 1-butanol , 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol.
What are the acid hydrolysis products of propyl butanoate?
The acid hydrolysis of propyl butanoate yields propanol and butanoic acid as the products. This reaction breaks down the ester bond in propyl butanoate, resulting in the formation of the alcohol propanol and the carboxylic acid butanoic acid.
Does glycerol have a higher viscosity than propanol?
Yes, glycerol has a higher viscosity than propanol. Glycerol is a more viscous liquid due to its larger and more polar molecule structure compared to propanol.
Is alcohol an irritant?
Propanol and butanol are, most smaller molecule alcohols aren't
Are any what hydrogen bonds ethanol propanol butanol pentane methanol hexane?
Hydrogen bonds can form between ethanol, propanol, and methanol due to the presence of hydroxyl groups (OH). Butanol also has potential for hydrogen bonding, while pentane and hexane do not have functional groups that allow for hydrogen bonding.
What ingredeints are in a sharpie pen?
Sharpie contains theses n-propanol n-butanol,diactone alcohol,xylene and cresol
What is the Name of the compound ch3 ch2 ch2 ch2 oh?
The compound CH3CH2CH2CH2OH is called butanol. It is a four-carbon alcohol with the OH functional group attached to the fourth carbon atom in the chain.
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.
Why does butanol heat water more than methanol?
Butanol is has less polarity than methanol
What is the iupac name for CH3-CH2-OH?
There is an error in the question - do you mean CH3CH2CH2OH - 1-propanol
How many different isomers are possible for hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C4H10?
The alcohols having the formula C4H10O are four 1-butanol , 2-butanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol.
Would methanol be a better or poorer solvent for extraction of cholesterol from egg yolk compared to 2-propanol?
The solubility of cholesterol in methanol is 0.014. 2-propanol would be a better solvent than methanol for the extraction of cholesterol from egg yolk.
What are the acid hydrolysis products of propyl butanoate?
The acid hydrolysis of propyl butanoate yields propanol and butanoic acid as the products. This reaction breaks down the ester bond in propyl butanoate, resulting in the formation of the alcohol propanol and the carboxylic acid butanoic acid.
What are the 8 structural isomers of 5 carbon alcohol?
The eight structural isomers of a 5-carbon alcohol are: pentanol (n-pentanol), isopentanol (2-methyl-1-butanol), neopentyl alcohol (2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol), tert-pentanol (2-methyl-2-butanol), 1-pentanol, 2-pentanol, 3-pentanol, and 2-methyl-2-butanol.
Why potassium permanganate is discolored in the presence of 1-butanol 2-butanol but slowly acidifies by 2-methyl-2-propanol though all three alcohols have the same molecular formula?
1-Butanol is a primary alcohol (the OH group is attached to a carbon that is only attached to one other carbon) and is oxidised to butanal.2-Butanol is a secondary alcohol (the OH group is attached to a carbon that is attached to two other carbons) and is oxidised to butanone.2-methyl-2-propanol is a tertiary alcohol (the OH group is attached to a carbon that is attached to three other carbons) and this means it does not react with potassium permanganate as it can no longer undergo anymore oxidations. This is why it does not show a visible reaction with potassium permanganate.
