Question:
(a) The dipole moment of acetaldehyde is 2.7 D and that of propene is 0.5 D. Even though they have about the same molecular mass, they differ in boiling point by about 68°C (–47°C and 121°C). Which has the higher boiling point? Why?
(b) Given that alkenes and alkanes with the same branching pattern and number of carbons have about the same boiling points, show where you would expect the curve for aldehyde boiling points to fall in Fig. 8.2b. Explain.
