Explain boiling point for ethyl acetate and butyl acetate

Reference no: EM13558531

What intermolecular forces account for the difference in boiling point for ethyl acetate and butyl acetate?

I know ethyl acetate has dipole dipole and it is less polar than butyl acetate. Therefore, it has a lower boiling point than butyl acetate. But I'm not sure what are the intermolecular forces in butyl acetate and why
