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

Which one have higher boiling point alcohol or phenol?
Phenol has a higher boiling point than alcohol does; it has a stronger dipole difference in its -OH group.
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 would be the boiling point of alcohol at a higher altitude?
it depends on the altitude
Why alcohol have higher boiling point than alkanes?
this is because of the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the polar molecules. energy is needed to over come the attractive forces resulting in higher boiling point values.
What happens when you boil alcohol?
Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water. Naturally the alcohol evaporates leaving the flavanoids and the water. If you boil 100 % alcohol, then it would act like plain water. It will boil until it all evaporates.
Which one have higher boiling point alcohol or phenol?
Phenol has a higher boiling point than alcohol does; it has a stronger dipole difference in its -OH group.
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.
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 would be the boiling point of alcohol at a higher altitude?
it depends on the altitude
What can you notice about the temperature of sea water during boiling?
The boiling point of sea water is higher compared with pure water. Temperature remain constant during boiling.
Why methanol boil at high temperature than dimethyl ether?
bcoz of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding in methyl alcohol the vapour pressure of the molecule equalises the atmospheric pressure at higher temperatures. there is no hydrogen bonding in dimethyl ether and hence the molecule escapes at relatively lower temperatures.
Does Ether have a higher boiling point than alcochol?
no..ethers are always low in boiling point than alcohol due to alcohols hydrogen bonds
Are water's melting and boiling temperatures higher lower or average compared to other liquids?
This is only a relative appreciation.
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.
Why does halogens exist as a gas at room temperature?
They have a generally low boiling point, as compared to something like water with a higher boiling point and is a liquid at room temperature.
Why alcohol have higher boiling point than alkanes?
this is because of the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the polar molecules. energy is needed to over come the attractive forces resulting in higher boiling point values.
Why does rubbing alcohol evaporate so quickly on your skin?
Rubbing alcohol evaporates so quickly on skin because your skin is pretty warm and rubbing alcohol has a higher vapor pressure (and lower boiling point) compared to water. It is known as a volatile solvent because it evaporates easily.
