    The boiling points of four saturated hydro- carbons are given below. Which boiling point suggests maximum number of carbon atoms in its molecule?

    A)  \[-{{162}^{o}}C\]            

    B)         \[-{{88.6}^{o}}C\]           

    C)  \[-{{0.5}^{o}}C\]       

    D)         \[-{{42.2}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Boiling point of any hydrocarbon \[\propto \] number of carbon atoms. Hence, compound with boiling point \[-{{0.5}^{o}}C\] has maximum number of C-atoms and compound with boiling point \[-{{162}^{o}}C\] has minimum number of C-atoms.
