Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than aldehydes, ketones and even alcohols of comparable molecular mass. It is due to their _________.
more extensive association of carboxylic acid via van der Waals force of attraction
formation of intramolecular H-bonding
formation of intermolecular H-bonding
formation of carboxylate ion

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than aldehydes- ketones- and given alcohol of comparable molecular mass- This is because of formation of intermolecular H-bonding-

Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than aldehydes, ketones, and given alcohol of comparable molecular mass. This is because of formation of intermolecular H-bonding.

Carboxylic acids have higher boiling points than aldehydes, ketones, and given alcohol of comparable molecular mass. This is because of formation of intermolecular $H$ -bonding.
