How arrange the following compounds in order of their increasing boiling points ? n-pentane, 2-methyl pentane, n-hexane, 2,2-dimethyl pentane, ethane.

We know that boiling point on alkanes is directly proportional to their molecular weight and inversely proportional to branching. Therefore, the increasing order is

“Ethane < Pentane < 2-Methyl pentane < n-Hexane < 2, 2-Dimethyl pentane”

How to arrange the isomeric hexanes in order of increasing stability at room temperature?

The stability of structural isomers generally increases with increased branching. Therefore the increasing order of stability is 

  “n-Hexane < 2-methylpentane < 2, 3-dimethylbutane < 2,2-dimethylbutane”
