as far as i know the B.Pt. is defined as " when the vopour pressure of the liquid is equal to the atomospheric pressure then it is said to be the boiling point of the liquid." similarly "when the vapuor pressure of the solid is equal to atmospheric pressure then its corresponding temperature is called melting point of that compound." so a compound may be a low melting one but the same compound may be ahigh boiling liquid. this is due to the inter & intra molecular forces that exists in the molecules. so there is no specific equation that a compound having a m.p. of 102c will have a b.pt. of some particular value.

The point at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to that of the atmosphere around it. The exact temperature varies depending upon the altitude and liquid involved.

Is the boiling point higher for compounds with a high viscosity?

Viscosity is the thickness of the compound. The thicker the compound the higher the intermolecular forces. The higher the intermolecular forces the higher the boiling point is.

Does ethanol has the lower boiling point?

It depends what chemical or compound you are comparing the boiling point to. Ethanol has an atmospheric pressure boiling point of 78.1 °C (172.6 °F). This is slightly lower than the boiling point of water at the same pressure, much lower than the boiling point of iron, much higher than the boiling point of bromine.


What is the boiling point of opal?

Opal is not a compound but a mixture, and so, its boiling point will depend on its exact composition. However, opals are mainly made of silica, whose boiling point is 2230 deg C.


Will a compound with a boiling of 68C is likely to be a network structure or in the form of individual molecules?

Because the boiling point of the compound is relatively low, the compound is likely to be in the form of individual molecules.
