Answer #1

Order Of Boiling points = KCl > HCHO > CO2

KCl is ionic compound so there are strong electro static force of attractions bet ween K+ ion and Cl- ion in crystal lattice. so for breaking of electroststic forces it require more energy hence it has high boiling point (1420 C)

HCHO has dipole dipole interactions hence it has higher boiling point compare to Carbon dioxide (-19degreeC)

CO2 is has no net dipole moment hence it has only vander waals force of attraction so it has low boing point compare with other two compounds (-78 degree C)
