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.

What temperature does methanol boil at high altitude?

How high is high? The boiling temperature depends on the pressure of the atmosphere above the liquid. The higher you go the lower is the atmospheric pressure, and so the boiling temperature. Methanol boils at 64.7°C (148.4°F) at 760mmHg, about sea level.


Ether at room temperature is placed in a flask connected by a rubber tube to a vacuum pump the pump is turned on and the ether begins to boil why?

Because the pressure of the atmosphere in the flask is lowered by the vacuum; a liquid will reach it's boiling point when the pressure of the atmosphere is equal to or less than the vapor pressure of the liquid.


Which temperature for methanol to use in soxhlet extractor?

It's not entirely clear what you're asking about, as different portions of the apparatus will be at different temperatures, but at normal atmospheric pressure methanol boils at a bit under 65 degrees Celcius.


What liquid boils in your hand?

No liquid will boil in your hand because the temperature of your hand is not high enough to cause a liquid to boil. Boiling occurs when a liquid reaches its boiling point temperature, which is much higher than normal body temperature.
