16. Why do most cyclic hydrocarbons have higher boiling points than alkanes with the same number of carbons? 17. Explain why 1-butanol has a higher boiling point than diethyl ether. Which compound would you expect to be more soluble in water? Why? 18. Five continuous-chain organic compounds are listed in the table below. Although the molecular masses of these compounds are similar, their boiling points are not. Can you explain this? structure of compound molecular mass boiling point (°C) CH3CH₂CH₂CH₂CH3 72 36 CH3CH2-O-CH2CH3 74 35 CH3CH₂CH₂CI 79 47 CH3CH2CH₂CH2OH 74 118 19.
