Properties of Carboxylic Acids

Since carboxylic acids can form hydrogen bonds to create dimers, they have higher boiling points than alcohols and other carbonyl compounds. Carboxylic acids with four or fewer carbon atoms are soluble in water and undergo ionization. As weak acids, carboxylic acids will react with strong bases, such as KOH and NaOH, to form a carboxylate anion.

Part A

The following compounds have approximately the same molar mass. Rank them based on their boiling points.

Rank from highest to lowest boiling point. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

Explanation / Answer

Dear Friend the answer is above image display order as it is

I mean Carboxylic acid > Alcohol > Ketone

             COOH > OH > CO

Thank you, all the best.
