MHT CET 2024 Chemistry question

Which of the following ethers is gaseous at room temperature?

(1)1-Methoxypropane
(2)1-Ethoxypropane
(3)MethoxyethaneCorrect
(4)Ethoxyethane

Answer: (3)

Solution

Ethers have no intermolecular hydrogen bonding, so their boiling points are low and rise with molar mass. Methoxymethane (dimethyl ether, b.p. C) is a gas, and methoxyethane (, b.p. about C) is the next member that is a gas at room temperature
