There are two reasons for this;
{1} boiling point:
Tthe boiling point of water is greater than that of ether. So when the boiling point is greater then the vapour pressure will be low.
{2} intermolecular forces:
The second is intermolecular forces. When intermolecular forces are greater then the the boiling point will be greater and if boiling point is greater then the vapor pressure will be low.
The inter molecular forces of water is greater than that of ether and so the vapour pressure will be low and and boiling point will be greater.

This makes the boiling point of alcohol less than water.

Would pure isopropyl alcohol evaporate more quickly or slowly that a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water?
Pure alcohol evaporates faster than pure water. A mixture of the two will slow the evaporation of the alcohol.
Is ether a compound formed from compounding a carboxylic and an alcohol?
No - the reaction product of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid is an ESTER not an ether
In the cannizzaro reaction why does the acid appear in the aqueous layer and the alcohol in the ether layer?
Because acid dissolves in water and alcohol dissolves in ether
Which evaporates faster water salt water sugar water?
Water evaporates faster than salt water and sugar water.
What is the functional group of BHA?
aromatic, alcohol, ether
Which evaporates faster water vinegar or alcohol?
Alcohol.
Which evaporates faster sugar water or alcohol?
Alcohol is evaporated faster.
Does water or rubbing alcohol dissolve the fastest?
Rubbing alcohol evaporates faster than Pepsi.
Why a drop of ether on your skin disappears fast and the skin feels cool?
Ether is a form of alcohol - which evaporates very quickly. This takes heat away from your skin, and thus you feel cold in that area.
What evaporates the fastest water mineral spirite or isopropyl alcohol?
White spirit evaporate faster.
What evaporates on skin faster alcohol or oil?
They don't evaportate. Your skin just suck it in. It then is inside you.
Why rubbing alcohol feels cooler on your skin than normal water?
Alcohol evaporates faster because of its low boiling point.
Alcohol is more volitile than water why?
because it has a high vapor pressure and evaporates faster than water.
What evaporates faster water or soy sauce?
Water evaporates faster.
Does tequilla get stronger when it stays in a bottle for years?
No. Alcohol evaporates faster than water, so if anything, it gets weaker.
Do salt water evaporates faster or do regular water evaporates faster?
Pure water is evaporated faster.
Would pure isopropyl alcohol evaporate more quickly or slowly that a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water?
Pure alcohol evaporates faster than pure water. A mixture of the two will slow the evaporation of the alcohol.
