Rank these compounds by boiling point- Pentane, Propane and Hexane.

Correct Answer: Hexane > Pentane > Propane

Explanation:

The boiling point of the compounds depend on the number of carbons in them. Hexane has 6, Pentane has 5 and Propane has 3 carbons. As Hexane is with 6 carbons it has highest boiling point and next Pentane with 5 and lowest Propane with 3.
