Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than aldehydes, ketones and even alcohols of comparable molecular mass. It is due to:
| 1. | Formation of intramolecular H-bonding |
| 2. | Formation of carboxylate ion |
| 3. | More extensive association of carboxylic acid via van der waals force of attraction |
| 4. | Formation of intermolecular H-bonding |
The intermediate compound 'X' in the following chemical reaction is :
| 1. | 2. | ||
| 3. | 4. |
| Statement I | The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are higher than hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses because of weak molecular association in aldehydes and ketones due to dipole-dipole interactions. |
| Statement II | The boiling points of aldehydes and ketones are lower than the alcohols of similar molecular masses due to the absence of H-bonding. |
| 1. | Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct. |
| 2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
