Why does ethanol have a higher boiling point than dimethyl ether?

The OH group in ethanol is highly hydrogen bonded which requires much more heat energy to break before boiling can occur. Dimethyl ether, which has the same molecular formula and molecular weight does not have this due to the ether linkage.


Which has a lower enthalpy ethanol or dimethyl ether?

ethanol


Why ethanol has higher boiling point than diethyl ether?

Ethanol has hydrogen bond where as ether does not.


Ethanol c2h5oh and methyl ether ch3och3 have the same molar mass.W hich has a higher boiling point?

ethanol has a higher boiling point- of 78°C :)


Why boiling point of ethnol is higher then ether?

Ethanol has O-H bond while ether does not, the OH group is responsible for hydrogen bonding among the molecules which make the ethanol high boiling liquid as compare to ether.


Why ethanol has a higher boiling point than diethyl ether?

Ethanol has an -OH group which can involve in hydrogen bonding and diethyl ether molecules haven't such groups.


Is dimethyl ether a structural isomer?

Yes it is. It's structural isomer is ethanol C2H5OH


Why do Ethanol and dimethyl ether have different chemical and physical properties?

structures and functional groups.


Why boiling point of ethyl alcohol is higher as compared to dimethyl ether?

The presence of strong hydrogen bonding in ethyl alcohol (when compared to that of dimethylether) increases its boiling point.


Why ethanol has high boiling point than diethyl-ether?

Ethanol has intermolecular hydrogen bonding where as diethylether does not have this kind of bonding. So BP of ethanol is higher than diethylether.


What 2 organic chemicals have the formula C2H6O?

Ethanol is C2H5OH and dimethyl ether is CH3-O-CH3. Both are C2H6O.
