Lower.

The boiling point of ethanol is 78 degrees C. Adding salt to water raises the boiling point of that solution above 100 degrees C.

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?

The boiling point of alcohol decreases at higher altitudes due to the lower atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, causing liquids to boil at lower temperatures. This means that alcohol will boil at a lower temperature at higher altitudes compared to sea level.


What would be the effect of adding sugar on the heating and cooling of water?

The boiling point of the solution is lower, the boiling point is higher.


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.


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.


Explain why a solution has a lower boiling point than the pure solvent?

When a solute is added to a solvent, the vapor pressure of the solution decreases compared to the pure solvent. This means the solution needs less energy to overcome atmospheric pressure and boil. As a result, the boiling point of the solution is lower than that of the pure solvent.


What effect does adding a solute have on the boiling of solution?

The solution freezes at a lower temperature and boils at a higher temperature.


Compared to the pure water an aqueous solution of calcium chloride has a?

Higher boiling point and a lower freezing point. These are called colligative properties. When a solute is put into solution with the solvent, there is a change in the vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, elevation of the boiling point, and depression of the freezing point.


How can one differentiate between water and alcohol with tasting or smelling it?

Boil/Freeze it. The alcohol will have a higher boiling point and lower freezing point than the water will.


Can alcohol and water be seperated by physical means?

Sure! It's called distillation and it's done all the time, especially in Kentucky. Alcohol's boiling point is lower than water's is. If you heat an alcohol-water solution to alcohol's boiling point, the alcohol will boil off leaving the water behind.


Is evaporation rate of iso propyl alcohol higher than chloroform?

Yes, the evaporation rate of isopropyl alcohol is higher than that of chloroform. Isopropyl alcohol evaporates more quickly due to its lower boiling point compared to chloroform.


How is distillation used to make alcohol pure?

Alcohol has a lower boiling point than water, so it can be condensed separately out of an aqueous solution. When it evaporates, alcohol is removed directly from solutions that contain solid impurities.
