Prepare a graph of the boiling point versus the number of carbon atoms for the following list of alcohols: methanol (64.7 ºC), ethanol (78.37 ºC), 1-propanol (97 ºC), 1-butanol (117.4 ºC), and 1-pentanol (137 ºC). The table is shown below. By a linear extrapolation from the boiling points of methanol (64.7 ºC), ethanol (78.37 ºC), 1-propanol (97 ºC), 1-butanol (117.4 ºC), and 1-pentanol (137 ºC), predict the boiling point of 1-hexanol in degrees Celsius.
