Pentanal and 3-methylbutanal are chain isomoers meaning they both have the same atoms but are structually different. Pentanal is staight chained and 3-methylbutanal has one of its carbons branching somewhere in the middle of the chain. Branching decreases the boiling point of a molecule, therefore Pentanal has the higher boiling point.

Will LiCl have a higher boiling point than water?

No, LiCl (Lithium chloride) will not have a higher boiling point than water. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius, whereas the boiling point of LiCl is significantly higher at 1382 degrees Celsius.


Ethanol c2h5oh and methyl ether ch3och3 have the same molar mass.W hich has a higher boiling point?

Ethanol (C2H5OH) has a higher boiling point compared to methyl ether (CH3OCH3) due to hydrogen bonding in ethanol. Hydrogen bonding results in stronger intermolecular forces in ethanol, requiring more energy to overcome, hence a higher boiling point.


Compared to the pure water an aqueous solution of calcium chloride has a?

Higher boiling point and a lower freezing point. These are called colligative properties. When a solute is put into solution with the solvent, there is a change in the vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, elevation of the boiling point, and depression of the freezing point.


Why the melting point of arsenic is higher than boiling point?

The melting point is higher than the boiling point of Arsenic only because the melting point is when Arsenic is under pressure because otherwise it would sublimate, or turn directly from a solid to a gas, a the "boiling" point of 614 degrees Celsius and normal atmospheric pressures.
