Solution

To determine which compound in each part would have an incorrect order of boiling point between alcohol and acid, we need to compare the boiling points of alcohols and acids.

  1. Alcohol: Alcohols have higher boiling points compared to acids due to the presence of hydrogen bonding between alcohol molecules. The strength of hydrogen bonding increases with the number of hydroxyl groups (OH) present in the alcohol molecule. Therefore, alcohols with more hydroxyl groups generally have higher boiling points.

  2. Acid: Acids also have hydrogen bonding, but the strength of hydrogen bonding in acids is generally weaker compared to alcohols. The boiling points of acids depend on factors such as the size and polarity of the acid molecule.

Now, let's consider each part separately:

Part 1: Alcohol vs. Acid If the boiling point of the alcohol is lower than the boiling point of the acid, it would indicate an incorrect order. This could occur if the alcohol molecule has fewer hydroxyl groups compared to the acid molecule, or if the acid molecule is smaller and more polar than the alcohol molecule.

Part 2: Alcohol vs. Acid Similarly, if the boiling point of the alcohol is higher than the boiling point of the acid, it would also indicate an incorrect order. This could occur if the alcohol molecule has more hydroxyl groups compared to the acid molecule, or if the acid molecule is larger and less polar than the alcohol molecule.

To determine the specific compounds that would have an incorrect order of boiling point, we would need to compare the structures and properties of the alcohols and acids in each part. Without specific compounds provided, it is not possible to give a definitive answer.
