Ethanol molecules have the ability to form Hydrogen bonds with each other ( H from one molecule with O of another).
Propane cannot form hydrogen bonds.
Thus one needs more energy to break these bonds in order to evaporate.

Why ethanol has higher boiling point than diethyl ether?
Ethanol has hydrogen bond where as ether does not.
What has the higher boiling point C2H6 or C3H8?
C20h42
Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because?
Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because octane has a larger number of carbon atoms than propane
What has a higher boiling point alcohol or water?
Water has a higher boiling point that alcohol (ethanol). The main reason for this is because water has stronger intermolecular forces holding the molecules together.
What is the boiling point for dimethyl- propane?
141.1 C from ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/MSDS/PR/propanoic_acid.html
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 :)
Which has higher boiling point oxygen or ethanol?
Oxygen.
What has a higher boiling point 1 propanol or propanone?
I think propane is higher??
Why ethanol has higher boiling point than diethyl ether?
Ethanol has hydrogen bond where as ether does not.
What has the higher boiling point C2H6 or C3H8?
C20h42
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.
Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because?
Octane has a higher boiling point than pentane because octane has a larger number of carbon atoms than propane
Boiling point ethanol?
78.3 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of ethanol.
What has a higher boiling point alcohol or water?
Water has a higher boiling point that alcohol (ethanol). The main reason for this is because water has stronger intermolecular forces holding the molecules together.
What is the boiling point for dimethyl- propane?

What effect does adding water have on the boiling point of ethanol?
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.
Why does ethanol has a higher boiling point?
i think it's because there are strong covalent bonds needed to be broken.
