Does water or carbon dioxide have a higher boiling point and why?

Carbon dioxide exists as a gas at stp, and water exists as a liquid. Therefore, CO2 has already passed the boiling point, so water has the higher boiling point.

∙ 13y agoCarbon dioxide is a gas at room temperature, and water is a liquid at room temperature. Since 'boiling point' is the point at which a liquid becomes a gas, that would mean that the 'boiling point' of CO2 would have to be MUCH lower than water (or lower than room temperature for that matter). A much more interesting question is 'what temperature does CO2 boil?, and that one I don't know the answer to, but I am sure you could easily Google it;)

∙ 8y agoComparing the boiling point of water and carbon dioxide (CO2), the boiling point for water will be higher. This is because water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonds, but in CO2 there are no such hydrogen bonds. So, the forces holding individual CO2 molecules together are much weaker than those holding water molecules together. So, it takes less heat energy to break apart the CO2 molecules, and thus the boiling point is lower. CO2 molecules are held together by van der Waals forces (much weaker than hydrogen bonds).

∙ 13y agoYes it would because carbon dioxide and water are the same thing and the more water you have the higher the boiling point would be.

Why does boiling remove carbon dioxide from antacid mixture?
Carbon dioxide has a higher boiling point, so it gets released from the mixture before the other components.
Would carbon dioxide have a higher boiling point than water and why?
No, carbon dioxide has a much lower boiling point than water. The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance changes phases from a solid to a liquid. Carbon dioxide is a gas at room temperature, while water is found primarily in liquid form at room temperature. Therefore, at 78 degrees F, carbon dioxide is above its boiling point while water is below its boiling point.
Which has the higher melting point sulfur dioxide or carbon dioxide?
SO2
Explain how could attractions between molecules could cause water to have a higher boiling point than carbon dioxide?
It takes more energy to break the bonds because they are stronger.
Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because?
Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because octane has a larger number of carbon atoms than propane

Why is the melting and boiling point of carbon dioxide the same -78degree?
They aren't the same. The boiling point of carbon dioxide is -57 oC. (Wikipedia)
What is the boiling point for carbon dioxide gas?
Seung Jun is god
Which has the higher melting point sulfur dioxide or carbon dioxide?
SO2
What is the boiling point of carbonated water?
The boiling point of Carbonated water is 105°C because of the carbon dioxide gas it contains.
Explain how could attractions between molecules could cause water to have a higher boiling point than carbon dioxide?
It takes more energy to break the bonds because they are stronger.
Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because?
Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because octane has a larger number of carbon atoms than propane
How do attractions between molecules could cause polar water to have a higher boiling point than non polar carbon dioxide?
Because their relationship was so strong they can do anything <3
Why carbon dioxide is a gas at room temperature while iodine is a solid at room temperature?
as we know that the room temperature is 25*C which is very greater than the boiling point of the carbon dioxide so it remain in the vapor state but boiling point of the iodine is greater than the 25*C
Does chlorine or oxygen has higher boiling point?
Chlorine has higher boiling point.
Why does H2O have a higher point than CO2?
H2O (water) has a higher melting point and boiling point than CO2 because of the hydrogen bonds that exist between the water molecules. The hydrogen bonds are strong intermolecular forces (though they are classified as a weak bond), and help to hold separate water molecules together. Thus, the boiling point of water is higher than carbon dioxide, though they are similar in composition and mass.
