Detailed Solution
Alcohols with same molecular weight ate expected to have almost same boiling point, however two more factors other than molecular weight are important; they are namely H-bonding and surface area of molecule. Both these factors are least in 3∘alcohols and maximum in 1∘alcohols. Hence, 3∘alcohols have least boiling point while 1∘alcohols have maximum boiling point
