Why alcohols boiling point is 100 degree celsius and water 1is lower 78 degree celsius?

Water boils at a higher temperature than alcohol(ethanol) as the inter-particular bonding is stronger. Water is held together by hydrogen bonding and although ethanol is also held together by hydrogen bonding, it is weaker due to the CH3CH2- group keeping the hydrogen bonds separated.
Water boils at ~100 oC whereas alcohol boils at ~78 oC.

Why do alcohols have lower boiling points than the corresponding carboxylic acids?
Alcohols have low power Vander woals bonds.Carboxilic acids have Hydrogen bonds as inter molecular bonds.
If you boil water at the top of a mountain would you expect it to boil at 100 degree Celsius explain?
Yes. In general, higher altitudes mean lower atmospheric pressure. Lower atmospheric pressure means lower boiling points.
Is the scrotum found outside of the body?
Your testes descend from abdominal cavity to the scrotum. There is difference of one degree Celsius from body. It is lower in the scrotum. This one degree Celsius lower temperature is necessary for production of the sperms.
What is colder -10 Celsius or -6 Celsius?
-4
What effect does ethanol have on the boiling point of water?
The pure ethanol has the boiling point 78.5 celsius while water has 100 celsius so when water is added to ethanol its boiling point becomes increased.
What degree celsius does water change from liquid to gas?
I'm pretty sure that it is a 100 degree Celsius because when water is boiling it becomes a gas so I think I'm right Added: But it is dependant of pressure. When you are high in the mountains water is boiling easier and at lower temperature because of the lower pressure (Henry's Law, I believe). Boiling eggs in boiling water at 95 oC will take significantly longer!
The temp of boiling water in Celsius?
That depends a lot on the pressure - at higher altitudes (less pressure), the boiling point is lower. At standard pressure (1 atm.), the answer is 100 degree Celsius.
Why do alcohols have lower boiling points than the corresponding carboxylic acids?
Alcohols have low power Vander woals bonds.Carboxilic acids have Hydrogen bonds as inter molecular bonds.
Why upper fixed point and lower fixed point are not 100 degree celsius and 0 degree celsius respectively of pure water in kathmandu?
The boiling point of water is dependent upon air pressure, and in Nepal, the high altitiude results in low air pressure.
Why do aldehydes and ketones have lower boiling points than their correspending alcohols?
Ketones and aldehydes do not have hydrocarbon atoms which bond to nitrogen or oxygen, individual molecules do not hydrogen bond to each other which makes them have lower boiling points than alcohols.
Is 16 degree Celsius is colder than 19 degree Celsius?
Yes, the more lower the temperature is, the more colder it is.
If you boil water at the top of a mountain would you expect it to boil at 100 degree Celsius explain?
Yes. In general, higher altitudes mean lower atmospheric pressure. Lower atmospheric pressure means lower boiling points.
Why the temperature of agar must be no lower than 45 degree celsius and no higher than 50 degree celsius?
im stuck on the same thing!
Why pressure cooker can enable to rise temperature more than 100 degree celsius?
Because water boils at a higher temperature when it is under higher pressure. 100 degrees Celsius is its boiling point at 1 atmosphere, or the average pressure at sea level. Lower pressures will cause water to boil at lower temperatures.
Is The boiling point of chlorine is lower than the boiling point of water?
The boiling point of Chlorine is 239.11 Kelvin (equivalent to 34.04 degrees Celsius or -29.272 degrees Fahrenheit).The boiling point of water is 373.15 Kelvin (equivalent to 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit).
What is the boiling point water?
Boiling is the formation of vapor bubbles inside a liquid. They are not air, but rather some of the liquid that has evaporated. The molecules of the liquid have to have enough energy to break out of the liquid phase and become the vapor. That means the vapor has to push the liquid aside to make the bubble. This happens when the vapor can push back against the atmosphere pushing on the liquid. The boiling point is the temperature where the vapor has enough push to overcome the air pressure. In other words, the boiling point is the temperature where the vapor pressure and the atmospheric pressure are the same. The lower the atmospheric pressure, the lower the boiling point.
Is the scrotum found outside of the body?
Your testes descend from abdominal cavity to the scrotum. There is difference of one degree Celsius from body. It is lower in the scrotum. This one degree Celsius lower temperature is necessary for production of the sperms.
