Detailed Solution

Order of boiling point
CH4 < CHCl3 < CH3CH2OH < CH3COOH

Boiling points in organic compounds depend on a number of factors.

A few of them are the mass of the organic compound and the nature of the bond in the organic compound.

As acetic acid has the highest molecular mass followed by ethanol so it has the highest boiling point.

Moreover, in acetic acid intramolecular hydrogen bonding is stronger as compared to ethanol which is comparatively less polar.
