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.
Describe the difference if any there would be between the boiling point of alcohol measured in Houston and in Denver the mile high city?
The boiling point of alcohol in Houston would be lower than in Denver because Houston is at a lower elevation than Denver. At higher elevations like Denver, the air pressure is lower, which leads to lower boiling points for liquids. So, alcohol would boil at a higher temperature in Denver compared to Houston.
Why is the boiling point in Durban different from that in Johannesburg?
Boiling point is dependent on air pressure. Air pressure is dependent on altitude. Durban is coastal, almost sea level. Johannesburg is inland, quite a bit higher. High altitude = low air pressure = low boiling point.
Why boiling point of ethyl alcohol is higher as compared to dimethyl ether?
The boiling point of ethyl alcohol is higher than that of dimethyl ether because ethyl alcohol has stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) between its molecules than dimethyl ether, which only has weaker van der Waals forces. These stronger intermolecular forces in ethyl alcohol require more energy to overcome, resulting in a higher boiling point.
Is it true that boiling point remain constant in all altitudes?
No, the boiling point decrease at high altitudes.

What is the relation between the altitude compared to sea level and the boiling point of water?
In general, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, and the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point.
Does the boiling temperature change as the elavation gets higher?
Yes, at high altitude the boiling point is lower.
What can be done to raise the boiling point of water?
All you have to do to reduce the boiling point of water is go to a higher altitude and boil it.
Why is the boiling point in Durban different from that in Johannesburg?
Boiling point is dependent on air pressure. Air pressure is dependent on altitude. Durban is coastal, almost sea level. Johannesburg is inland, quite a bit higher. High altitude = low air pressure = low boiling point.
Is there any difference in boiling point of purewater in different altitude?
Yes. The boiling point of water is lower at higher altitudes because there is less atmospheric pressure.
Why boiling point of ethyl alcohol is higher as compared to dimethyl ether?
The boiling point of ethyl alcohol is higher than that of dimethyl ether because ethyl alcohol has stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) between its molecules than dimethyl ether, which only has weaker van der Waals forces. These stronger intermolecular forces in ethyl alcohol require more energy to overcome, resulting in a higher boiling point.
Does melting point and boiling point of liquid changes from altitude to altitude?
The boiling point depends on altitude (pressure). The effect on the melting point is not significant.
Is it true that the boiling point of a liquid remains constant at all altitudes?
No. Atmospheric pressure falls the higher you go. The boiling point of a liquid varies with ambient pressure. If the pressure is lower then the boiling point will be lower.
How are melting and boiling points affected as altitude is increased?
Boiling point decrease at high altitude.
Does Ether have a higher boiling point than alcochol?
no..ethers are always low in boiling point than alcohol due to alcohols hydrogen bonds
