Answer ::

Propanol has higher boiling point than butane because it has stronger interparticle forces. In propanol intermolecular hydrogen bonding is present whereas in butane intermolecular forces are weak van der Waals’ forces. A lot of heat is required to break intermolecular hydrogen bonding among propanol molecules.
