Why does methylbenzene have higher boiling point than benzene?

Benzene is a tidy, symmetrical molecule and packs very efficiently. The methyl group sticking out in methylbenzene tends to disrupt the closeness of the packing. If the molecules aren't as closely packed, the intermolecular forces don't work as well and so the melting point falls.


Why hydrochloric acid does not ionise in methylbenzene?

Hydrochloric acid does not ionize in methylbenzene because methylbenzene is a non-polar solvent, and ionic compounds like hydrochloric acid require a polar solvent to ionize. In non-polar solvents, the molecules of hydrochloric acid remain as molecules rather than dissociating into ions.


What happens to hydrogen chloride when it is added to water and methylbenzene?

When hydrogen chloride is added to water, it forms hydrochloric acid, which is a strong acid that dissociates into H+ and Cl- ions in solution. When hydrogen chloride is added to methylbenzene, which is a non-polar solvent, they do not react as hydrogen chloride is not soluble in non-polar solvents.


Why does methylbenzene have higder boiling point than benzene?

It is a bigger molecule and so the van der Waals dispersion forces will be bigger. Methylbenzene also has a small permanent dipole, so there will be dipole-dipole attractions as well as dispersion forces. The dipole is due to the CH3 group's tendency to "push" electrons away from itself. This also affects the reactivity of methylbenzene Chemguide


What happens when you mix methylbenzene and water?

It becomes non acidic because of the change of particles from the base (water) therefore neutralising.
