2018 · Q94

NEETChemistryAldehydes Ketones and Carboxylic AcidsMCQ+4 / −1
Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than aldehydes, ketones and even alcohols of comparable molecular mass. It is due to their
  1. A
    formation of intramolecular H-bonding
  2. B
    formation of carboxylate ion
  3. C
    more extensive association of carboxylic acid via van der Waals’ forces of attraction
  4. D
    formation of intermolecular H-bonding.
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: D

Due to the formation of intermolecular H-bonding, association occurs in carboxylic acids. So, they have higher boiling points than aldehydes, ketones and even alcohols of comparable molecular mass.
