Solution
The first step in solving 3 problem number 9 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Which has a. the higher boiling point: 1-bromopentane or 1-bromohexane? b. the higher boiling point: pentyl chloride or isopentyl chloride? c. the greater solubility in water: 1-butanol or 1-pentanol? d. the higher boiling point: 1-hexanol or 1-methoxypentane? e. the higher melting point: hexane or isohexane? f. the higher boiling point: 1-chloropentane or 1-pentanol? g. the higher boiling point: 1-bromopentane or 1-chloropentane? h. the higher boiling point: diethyl ether or butyl alcohol? i. the greater density: heptane or octane? j. the higher boiling point: isopentyl alcohol or isopentylamine? k. the higher boiling point: hexylamine or dipropylamine?
From the textbook chapter An Introduction to Organic Compounds: Nomenclature, Physical Properties, and Representation of Structure you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
