If the compound shown has a boiling point of 346K, predict the boiling point of n-Butyl bromide?(a) 300K(b) 325K(c) 350K(d) 375KThis question was addressed to me in quiz.The origin of the question is Haloarenes Physical Properties topic in division Haloalkanes and Haloarenes of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (d) 375K

To explain I would say: The COMPOUND SHOWN is a highly branched isomer of n-Butyl bromide, i.e., tert-Butyl bromide. The n-Butyl bromide structure has no branches and therefore has a SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER boiling point than tert-Butyl bromide.
