Question

Write the following in the increasing order of boiling points:

a) H2S b) CH3CH3 c) CH3OH d) Ar

Answer 1

Ar < CH3CH3 < H2S < CH3OH

This is based on intermolecular forces. Ar has the weakest IMF followed by CH3CH3 followed by H2S and finally CH3OH has the strongest because of hydrogen bonding.
