Which would you expect to have a lower boiling point assuming they were of similar molecular weights a hydrophobic liquid or a hydrophilic one?

hydrophobic would have the lower boiling point as there are less forces of attraction between the molecules. Hydrophilic liquids are polar and therefore have interactions between themselves.

The boiling point of a molecular compound depends on the strength of?
inter molecular forces or inner molecular forces
Molecular compounds have relatively high boiling points?
false they tend to have low boiling points
Why does 0.300 M KCl have a higher boiling point that 0.500 M glucose?
KCl is an ionic compound and glucose is a molecular compound. Ionic compounds have higher boiling points than molecular compounds.
Does molecular motion decrease when water is boiling?
No. Heating water increases the frequency of collisions of molecules.
Two diatomic molecules with an equal number of electrons and a similar molecular weight are tested for boiling point the difference in boiling point is 150 degrees which is most likely?
the polar molecule has a higher boiling point
The boiling point of a molecular compound depends on the strength of?
inter molecular forces or inner molecular forces
Molecular compounds have relatively high boiling points?
false they tend to have low boiling points
Which phase of matter exhibits molecular motion?
Boiling or gas
Why does 0.300 M KCl have a higher boiling point that 0.500 M glucose?
KCl is an ionic compound and glucose is a molecular compound. Ionic compounds have higher boiling points than molecular compounds.
Is an ionic compound a molecular compound?
no, they are two different things. molecular compounds have a lower boiling and melting point relative to ionic.
Why does heptane have a higher boiling point than methanol?
Heptane has 7 carbon atoms. So it has a greater surface area than methanol. Therefor heptane has a higher boiling point.In general, all else being equal the higher the molecular weight, the higher the boiling point. The molecular weight of methanol is 32, the molecular weight of heptane is 100. So, ignoring everything but that, you'd expect heptane to have a higher boiling point than methanol.A better question might be "why is the boiling point of methanol so much higher than that of ethane, which has a similar molecular weight (30)?" The answer to that is hydrogen bonding.
Do simple molecular substances have high or low melting and boiling points?
Yes, molecular solids have relatively low melting points.
What is the principle and working of clevenger apparatus?
three fosters control the work of clevenger: boiling temperature of the distillator density and hydrophobic ability.
Can you reverse water boiling on the stove?
Yes, turn the heat off. Boiling water does not change its molecular structure, so, yes, it can be "unboiled."
Which molecular solid would have the lowest boiling point?
One with induced dipole attractions
How are the melting points and the boiling points of molecular compounds different from ionic compounds?
Ionic bonds are significantly resistant to heat, while molecular bonds are broken more easily with the addition of heat energy. Due to this, ionic compounds have much higher boiling points than molecular substances in most cases.
Does molecular motion decrease when water is boiling?
No. Heating water increases the frequency of collisions of molecules.
