This is due to increased london dispersion forces- simply put the more electrons in the atoms the bigger the force - as you go down the group the atomic number increaes and therfore the number of electrons increases..

How can reduce the boiling point of methanol?

If we pressurize the liquid ( same like pressure coocker) its vapour pressure increases. As the vapour pressure increases boiling point increases and visa versa. Also to reduce the boiling temperature we can add another liquid with a lower boilng point in it so that its boiling point reduces. Exact boiling point can be determined with the known boiling poin t and ratios of the different liquids.


When ethylene glycol is added to water the boiling point of water is?

When ethylene glycol is added to water, the boiling point of the resulting solution increases. Ethylene glycol acts as an antifreeze, raising the boiling point and lowering the freezing point of water.

What is the boiling point of ethanol-water mixtures?

The boiling point of ethanol-water mixtures varies depending on the ratio of ethanol to water. Generally, the boiling point of these mixtures falls between the boiling points of pure ethanol (78.37C) and pure water (100C). The boiling point increases as the ethanol content in the mixture increases.
