ethanol has a lower amount of intermolecular forces than water. These forces keep the molecules more uniformly in place in a liquid or solid. due to water's ability to have the intermolecular force of hydrogen bonding (which is very strong), the water molecules need more energy to break up these bonds, while ethanol needs less energy to break these bonds... energy in this case is heat, so water needs more heat to heat up and vaporize and ethanol needs less.

Why does the boiling point of methylated spirits drop?
The boiling point of methanol is lower than the boiling point of ethanol.
What molecule has the highest boiling point methane chloromethane or methanol?
methanol
Boiling point ethanol?
78.3 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of ethanol.
What is the Boiling point of methanol in Fahrenheit and Celsius?
Methanol has the following boiling points: 64.7°C, 338K and 148°F
What is condensation point for methanol?
Condensation point is the same as boiling point of methanol: 65 °C, 338 K, 149 °F
Why does the boiling point of methylated spirits drop?
The boiling point of methanol is lower than the boiling point of ethanol.
Why does methanol mix completely with ethanol?
Methanol and ethanol mix together well in part because they both have a low boiling point. Methanol and ethanol mixed together also metabolizes well.
What liquid is more volatile between ethanol methanol acetone dichloromethane and water?
Ethanol boiling point: 78.37 °C Methanol Boiling point: 64.7 °C Acetone Boiling point: 56 to 57 °C dichloromethane Boiling Point: 39.8-40.0°C Water Boiling Point: 100°C dichloromethane more volatile than the others
Difference between methanol and ethanol?
Methanol is CH3OH, ethanol is CH3CH2OH. Both are alcohols, ethanol has one carbon more (or a CH2 group more) and is less polar than methanol. Also ethanol has higher boiling point than methanol.
How do you remove methanol out of an ethanol mixture?
Methanol has a Boiling point under standard conditions of 64.7 °C, and ethanol of 78.4 °C. You I can boil off vapor and collect Methanol and Ethanol, and use that cooled back down to liquid form and preform a test.
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 is the boiling point of alchohol?
ethanol boils at 78.3 degrees Centigrade methanol boils at 64.7 degrees Centigrade
Why ethanol has higher boiling point than diethyl ether?
Ethanol has hydrogen bond where as ether does not.
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.
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.
What molecule has the highest boiling point methane chloromethane or methanol?
methanol
